Y6 Maths
This Year 6 Nets of 3D Shapes lesson covers the prior learning of recognising, describing, drawing and constructing 3D shapes, before moving onto the main skill of identifying 3D shapes from their nets.
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.
