National Curriculum Objective
Mathematics Y1: (1G1b) 3-D shapes [for example, cuboids (including cubes), pyramids and spheres]
Mathematics Y2: (2G2b) Identify and describe the properties of 3-D shapes, including the number of edges, vertices and faces
Mathematics Y3: (3G3b) Draw 2-D shapes and make 3-D shapes using modelling materials; recognise 3-D shapes in different orientations and describe them
Mathematics Y5: (5G3b) Identify 3-D shapes, including cubes and other cuboids, from 2-D representations
Mathematics Y6: (6G3b) Recognise, describe and build simple 3-D shapes, including making nets
