3D Shapes - 27 Posters, shapes, nets and desciptions

We developed this set of 27 posters for a range of reasons (and activities).

1. To display 9 different 3D shapes on our maths display
2. To link 3D shapes with their nets
3. To link 3D shapes and their nets with their descriptions using the language of faces, edges and vertices.

Not only that, but we realised that, although these are incredible for displays, they also offer themselves for a variety of other activities:

• Flashcards for the teacher (or child) to show the class and the class respond with the correct shape name.
• Go Fish (where children turn over all the posters and have to find a matching pair (or three cards) which include the shape, the net and the description.
• Yes/No Game - the teacher holds a card in their hand without showing the children. The children have ten questions which they can ask in order to work out what shape the teacher is holding. The answers to the questions can only be Yes of No.

There are no titles for the posters as we wanted our children to learn the names and the properties of the shapes without the names being displayed. We found that if the names were present, the children didn't retain the knowledge. Removing the names of the shapes from the posters actually created more of a challenge and the children saw naming all 28 as a competition - and moved the learning on more!

Once purchased and downloaded, simply print and display.

These can easily be enlarged on the photocopier, or printed onto coloured paper to match your classroom style.

To make the posters last for longer, they can be laminated before displaying.

Please note that these posters can also be found as part of the resourcing for our 3D Shape Bingo Game - so if you have bought, or are thinking about buying the 3D Bingo game - do not buy these posters as they are included within the 3D Bingo pack.
