By the end of this unit, children will be able to:
- Recognize and name common 3D shapes (e.g., cube, sphere, cylinder, cone).
- Count and identify the number of vertices (corners) in various 3D shapes.
- Differentiate between shapes based on the count of their vertices.
- Group and classify shapes based on the number of vertices.
- Identify shapes with specific numbers of vertices (e.g., cubes have 8 vertices).
- Solve real-life problems involving counting vertices on 3D shapes.
Curriculum Alignment: Year 2 Geometry: Properties of shapes
- Identify and describe the properties of 3-D shapes, including the number of edges, vertices and faces.
