Max Maths, Year 3, Work Book, 3D shapes

In the 'Max Maths' Year 3 workbook, students are presented with engaging activities to help them identify and understand various 3D shapes. Practice 2 focuses on matching different 3D shapes to their correct names. The task requires students to visually distinguish between shapes such as cubes, hexagonal prisms, spheres, cuboids, pyramids, cylinders, and cones. This interactive exercise aims to enhance the students' ability to recognize and name these shapes, which are fundamental concepts in geometry.

Further exercises delve into the properties of 3D shapes. Students are asked to read descriptions and determine the name of the shape based on its characteristics, such as the number of faces, the shape of the faces, and the presence of vertices or curved surfaces. The workbook also includes an activity where students must observe everyday objects and identify their 3D shape from a given list. Additionally, there are questions designed to help students find common features among groups of shapes, such as the number of faces or the presence of curved surfaces. Lastly, the workbook challenges students to complete descriptions of shapes by counting the number of flat faces, edges, vertices, and identifying other unique properties of specific 3D shapes.
