Willow maths set hunt for some 3D shapes

Today Willow maths set have been learning all about 3D shapes and their technical names. 

We conducted a mathematical investigation by exploring outside to see how many 3D shapes we could find.


Eriya, Finley and Deniz found a cylinder almost immediately!


David then managed to find a cuboid on the bench.

Deniz even managed to find a hemisphere. "I didn't need to look very hard for a hemisphere, because we were standing on one!" Deniz




Leo then found a cone, which he was very excited about!

In the end we all found an octagonal prism in the form of a hut. "Say octagonal prism children!"


All of Willow maths set have now been tasked with seeing how many 3D shapes they can find at home. I look forward to their results!
