Rolling 3D Shapes

Reception class learning about various 3D shapes!

Reception class worked with shapes this week in Math's to find out which 3D shapes roll. They talked about the shape names and why they might roll. They each picked a shape and put it on their makeshift slide to see if it would roll.

They discovered that the shapes with curved/round edges rolled and the shapes with flat edges slid. Then they sorted the shapes into shapes that roll and shapes that don’t.

They noticed that some shapes could roll or slide depending on which way you put them down! These shapes have flat and curved edges.
