3-D shapes (age 11+)

Use the properties of faces, surfaces, edges, and vertices of 3-D shapes (cubes, cuboids, prisms, cylinders, pyramids, cones, and spheres) to solve problems, including visualising cross-sections

Typical age: 11–13 years

“If your child slices a cylinder straight across the middle like cutting a tin of beans in half, can they describe the shape of the cut surface? What about slicing at an angle?”
