Guest Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 Hi, could someone please help with with a focused activity on 2D/3D shapes, my mind is so blank too many hours doing lessons plans. Thanks
Cait Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 I'm Preschool so won't have children working at your level, but I couldn't read your plea for help and not offer any! What kind of thing are you wanting to do? Could you use a 3D shape to print a 2D one?
Guest Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 thank you, i dont know really im on placement in reception at a primary school, and the teacher said hear plan a PRSN focused activity on 2d/3d shapes....stuck! Already done like 10 lesson plans tonight and i'm getting tired
Cait Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 When does she want it for? I'm sure someone will be along soon!!!
Guest Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 tomorrow she wants the lesson plan but i'm not doing the activity untill Friday - getting observed, i know iv'e left it until the last minute but iv'e been hoping something would pop into my head but it hasn't unfortunatley.
Guest Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 We used pictures from toy story 2 to find 2d and 3d shapes - they drew round them on the white board describing the shapes with appropriate language - they loved it! We also printed some out and photocopied some for the maths area and they had a great time Here's the powerpoint I made Toy_story_2.ppt
Guest Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 (edited) Another thing we've done is look for 2d/3d shapes in the environment. Personally I would stick to one of the other for year R as they can get a bit muddled. Does it have to be both? I suppose you could focus on 3d shapes by describing them - square face, circle face as it brings in both but that is getting more like what I would have done in year 2 and you don't want to make it too challenging.

Guest Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 No i probably could do just 2d shapes but then add easier 3d shapes like cube, cone etc ones which are fairly easy to identify. Thanks for your help.
Guest Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 A shape hunt around the school/grounds - give them a picture of a certain shape - can they find a matching one. What shape is it? Can they describe it? etc... Try another shape .... If they have a picture or actual shape then it doesn't matter if it's 2d / 3d or a combination

Susan Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 Do a search and look for the activity about using ballons to demonstrate 3d shape--think it may have been posted by Andreamay last year. I did it or my own version of it and it was fantastic, really captured the children's attention and they remembered!
