What’s included in the Year 3 Recognise and Describe 3D Shapes Homework resource and why is it useful?

Year 3 Recognise and Describe 3D Shapes Homework is a set of worksheets to consolidate this step after it has been taught, at home or in class. Each set has been carefully designed to help you meet each child where they are at to ensure progress for every child, not just the average child. The content includes 3 levelled worksheets and a full answer sheet, covering recognising and describing 3D shapes by their faces, edges and vertices, completing tables.

Developing

• Q1 matching the 3D shapes to the correct descriptions using knowledge of 3D shapes and their properties; includes edges, vertices and faces. Shapes include cone, cylinder and square-based pyramid.
• Q2 completing the table using knowledge of 3D shapes and their properties, including edges, vertices and faces. Shapes include cuboid, sphere and cube.
• Q3 explaining whether the guessed shape matches the given description using knowledge of 3D shapes and their properties, including edges, vertices and faces. Shapes may include cube, cuboid, cylinder, sphere, cone or square-based pyramid.

Expected

• Q4 matching the 3D shapes to the correct descriptions using knowledge of 3D shapes and their properties; includes edges, vertices and faces. Shapes include triangular prism, sphere and cuboid.
• Q5 completing the table using knowledge of 3D shapes and their properties, including edges, vertices and faces. Shapes include triangular-based pyramid, square-based pyramid, cylinder.
• Q6 explaining whether the guessed shape matches the given description using knowledge of 3D shapes and their properties, including edges, vertices and faces. Shapes may include cube, cuboid, cylinder, sphere, cone, triangular-based pyramid, square-based pyramid or triangular prism.

Greater Depth

• Q7 matching the 3D shapes to the correct descriptions using knowledge of 3D shapes and their properties; includes edges, vertices and faces. Shapes include cylinder, octagonal prism and tetrahedron and shapes may be presented in different orientations.
• Q8 completing the table using knowledge of 3D shapes and their properties, including edges, vertices and faces. Shapes include pentagonal prism, hexagonal prism, octahedron.
• Q9 explaining whether the guessed shape matches the given description using knowledge of 3D shapes and their properties, including edges, vertices and faces. Shapes may include cube, cuboid, cylinder, sphere, cone, various pyramids and prisms.

How do our maths homework resources work?

Our maths homework resources are not part of our adaptive maths resources, but they can be used alongside for consolidation purposes and to give children more opportunities to practise.
