16 Nov Reception – Shape
In our Maths lessons this term Reception have been exploring their 3D shapes. We have been looking at their different properties and what qualities they may have. One of the qualities we have been focusing on is whether we can use the shapes to stack and build a tower. As a class, we explored a range of 3D shapes and attempted to use them to stack on top of each other. We then split off into small groups and attempted to build a tower. The children demonstrated critical thinking skills by turning the shapes and trying them in different positions.
The children were able to explain why a particular shape could be used or not used by describing their properties.
