Math – Place Value
This week we used dice to make 3 and 4 digit numbers. We then drew a number line and ordered them from smallest to greatest.
3 Dimensional Shapes
This term in Maths we are investigating 3D shapes and their properties. To do this we made 3D shapes out of straws and play dough. We cut our play dough shapes into sections to look at the 2D shapes we could see. We then investigated the properties of our shapes. We worked out how many edges, faces and vertices each shape had. We looked at the net of each shape and worked out if our shape had flat, curved or both types of surface.
Here is a great site where you can download the nets of different shapes, cut them out and make them.
