Deepen understanding of how to classify and compare 3D shapes by using this resource.

This Year 6 Classify and Compare 3D Shapes Varied Fluency worksheet recaps key learning on properties of 3D shapes from previous year groups ready to be built on in subsequent lessons within this block. Children will identify and explain errors made in Venn diagrams that have names of 3D shapes sorted within them and explore which 3D shapes meet given criteria in two different contexts. All answers are also included so that marking is as easy as possible!

A varied fluency resource is also available for this small step.

Note: this resource uses 3 sides of A4 (1 sheet for questions 1a, 2a and 3a; 1 sheet for questions 1b, 2b and 3b; 1 sheet for all answers).
