Today our class started working out what 3D shape is the best for an ice cream container.

We talked about how many faces, vertices and edges the shapes had. For example a cube has 6 faces, 12 edges and 8 vertices. We also talked about if it can roll and if you could stack that shape. The other shapes we learnt about were rectangular prism, square based pyramid, triangular based pyramid and triangular prism.

The information we learnt in our groups, we had to take back to our home groups and share our work.

The other group made nets of different kinds of 3D shapes such as octagon and hexagon.

Thanks for listening,

Ella and Zoe 🙂
