Sort 3D Shapes Lesson
This Year 1 Sort 3D Shapes lesson covers the prior learning of describing 3D shapes, before moving onto the main skill of sorting 3D shapes based on their type, size and colour.
The lesson starts with a prior learning worksheet to check pupils’ understanding. The interactive lesson slides recap the prior learning before moving on to the main skill. Children can then practise further by completing the activities and can extend their learning by completing an engaging extension task.
