3D Shapes

This week we are learning how to make and describe 3D shapes.  Miss B bought a lot of packages to school and we are learning to name them all. 

You can see various 3D shapes in the picture - cubes, cylinders, square prisms, rectangular prisms, an octagonal prism and a triangular prism.  See if you can identify the 3D shapes!

Today some of us made nets from the boxes.  A net is the pattern for a 3D shape.  Here is the net of a triangular prism:


Here are some other 3D shapes.
  
 RD shows off his triangular prism while RD constructs her square prism and AD makes a cube.

 DO has made a square pyramid and Mrs K made an impressive hexagonal prism as well as a cube.

Here are some students making nets for 3D shapes.



Can anyone help KL name the 3D shape she has made?
