Teaching 3D Objects? We Have You Sorted!
Once your students start recognising three-dimensional objects in the world around them, it’s time to teach them the mathematical names of these common geometric figures.
This hands-on sorting activity can be used in your Maths lessons to help students recognise and categorise 3D objects by comparing and contrasting their features. It includes a set of 24 sort cards, each one depicting a different real-world 3D object. Students must sort the objects under the following headings:
- Cylinder
- Cone
- Sphere
- PyramidÂ
- Cube
An answer sheet is also provided in the download.
