Warm Up: Ask someone at home to call out a number between 0 and 10. When they call out the number, the student calls out the number that comes before that number. For example, if Mum calls

out 7, you will call out 6. If Dad calls out 14, you call out 13. If you are wanting a challenge try numbers between 1-20 or 1-50, even 1-100.

This week we will be learning about three dimensional (3D) objects including spheres, cubes, cones and cylinders. 3D objects have three dimensions - length, width and height.

A clue to identifying them is: three dimensional objects are fat, whereas, two dimensional shapes are flat.

Match the 2D and 3D shapes to everyday objects https://www.starfall.com/h/geometry/enviro-shapes/?t=294270500

Scavenger Hunt: Can you find 3D objects to match the outlines in the 3D Shape Hunt worksheet from around your home? You can cut pictures from magazines, print from the internet or draw your own.

To make it interesting you should include at least 3 different obstacles e.g jump through a hoop, skip in between cones, crawl under a bench.
