With our discussion problems, you can help your class develop reasoning and problem-solving skills through self-correction and discussion. This Year 5 Reasoning about 3D Shapes Discussion Problem includes two in-depth questions that challenge children to recognise and create 3D shapes using their 2D representations. We have also supplied an answer page for this resource, but there may be more than one answer for each question. Encourage children to mark their own work, or that of a partner to promote more self-correction and discussion.

Be sure to use our other resource for this lesson before this resource, as the questions included require a strong base knowledge to build upon.
