2D Shapes from 3D Shapes

By the end of this unit, students will be able to:

1. explore how 2d shapes can be the faces of 3d shapes;
2. perform activities on unfolding 3d shapes to see 2d shapes that make them.

Curriculum Alignment: Year 3 Geometry: Properties of shapes

• Draw 2-D shapes and make 3-D shapes using modelling materials; recognise 3-D shapes in different orientations and describe them.
