Guest Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 Hi everyone, In my next set of plans I am down to investigate the properties of 2d and 3d shapes with my children. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas of how to make this exciting and interesting with children? I've seen the 'shape detective' idea work quite well - anyone have any suggestions for any others? I've been trying to think of ideas that tie into my topic of weather??? Thanks very much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 Hi, We have been covering 2d and 3d shapes recently. Yesterday we went on a shape walk, which involved the children spotting shapes and being a shape detective. We also played a shape hunt game. I hid lots of shapes in the playground ad the children had to find them and sort them into 2 groups (2d and 3d) and describe their properties. These ides are linking maths to outside area, not sure how u can tie this in with weather? x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panders Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 some teachers have used a magic game to present 2d to 3d shapes which they are saying is very successful - I'm sure if you do a forum search you will find out just how to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
