3D shapes


You've all sent in great shapes for our 3D shape museum! Thank you! Today we sorted them and talked about the shapes as we did so.



This little shape didn't have a home. Is it a pyramid? Hm. Nope. That's what they decided. Since a rectangular prism can be cut into pieces and retain it's same shape, the class decided to call this a triangular prism.

Investigating with 3D shapes. Will they roll, stack or slide?




Try to click on this picture to see some of the GREAT thinking we had. Read what Cale and Katie had to say at the bottom.
