Children love using practical resources in maths, and the right activities can really help to consolidate their understanding of key skills. These Year 2 Count Vertices on 3D Shapes practical resources, which include a construction activity and a sand activity, will help children to develop their understanding of how to work out what 3D shapes are based on the number of vertices. A small brief is included to help teachers or support staff to set up the activities, making them great for both in-class work and as part of small-group interventions.


Curriculum Objectives

  • Compare and sort common 3-D shapes and everyday objects
  • Identify and describe the properties of 3-D shapes, including the number of edges, vertices and faces
