In year 3 the range of shapes that children are expected to know increases vastly. To help with this we have some great maths worksheets on 2D and 3D shape. These include pages on prisms, recognising and naming 3D shapes such as cylinders, pyramids, cuboids and the properties of quadrilaterals.
A 9 pin geoboard is a great resource and we include plenty of ideas on how to use these to help with recognising shapes such as pentagons. There are also some mini investigations such as ‘how many different shapes can you make with 2 triangles?’
