Over the last few weeks in Maths, we've been learning lots about 2D and 3D shapes. Can you distinguish between a quadrilateral and a polygon? How well do you know the terms parallel and perpendicular? Can you tell your vertex from your edge? And are you able to recognise a prism from a tetrahedron?
As you can tell, there's been a lot of complex terms to learn!
We played a game involving quadrilaterals. Without telling our partner, we had to describe a shape using its properties. Did it have acute angles? How about parallel sides? Was it a special type of quadrilateral?
We then applied our knowledge by solving problems. We picked different categories to label our table. We then had to design shapes that fit the criteria of each row and column. Harry, Thomas and Henry managed to complete their tables. Do their shapes fit both criteria? Can you spot any that they might need to edit?

Check them through and see if they've missed any facts out! Once again, click each picture to make it bigger! As always, don't forget to add your comments below!
I love the 3D shapes ... some really good designs and I can see some yr 6's have tried to experiment with some pretty complex 3D shapes. Great work ... does this now mean you could join more than 1x 3D shapes together ?
