Learning about 3D shapes can be so much fun, making them is even more exciting! The National Curriculum says that pupils should be taught to identify 3-D shapes, including cubes and other cuboids, from 2-D representations. Can you identify 3-D shapes from 2-D representations? Here are the Year 5 children identifying 3-D shapes from 2-D representations.
How many faces, vertices and edges does a hexagonal prism have?
