Geometry

On Tuesday, Week one, Term 2, Incredible I had some time to experiment with creating their very own cubes. We talked about the difference between a 2D shape and a 3D shape.
3D shapes have certain attributes about them. These are faces, vertices and edges.
The class got into groups and the children had to create a cube. We quickly discovered that a cube could not just be created with any amount of blocks. We discovered that EVERY side had to be the same.
Here are some of the designs that were created:

Incredible I learnt that a cube always has the same attributes. The number of faces, vertices and edges are always the same. It is what makes up a cube.
We learnt alot and had a fun lesson.
