After we did some National Testing today we needed a break! So we explored some 3D shapes! First we all collected a 3D shape and worked with a partner identifying the differences between the shapes and where we can find them in nature… Then we got match sticks and modeling clay and created…
One of the students in my class was desperate to make a cone – this is what he came up with!!
And a couple of students decided to challenge themselves…. Children are amazing!!!!!!
They did great making those shapes! What fun! 🙂

This looks like a lot of fun. I am always looking for fun ways to do 3D shapes because students get a much better understanding of them when they get to make it and realize that they can 'hold it'.
I'm also your newest follower and I can't wait to check out the rest of your blog.
