Making Connections between 2D and 3D shapes in Mrs Hooker's Year 5 Class

Having already developed an understanding of the characteristics of 2D shapes by creating a book about them in the Book Creator app, the students used the Explain Everything app to extend their knowledge. They learned how to draw 3D nets of the 3D objects they had identified earlier. The students then related the 3D nets to their 2D shapes they had researched in the app by labeling the relationship. In the next phase of the task the students will explain how they related the 3D nets to their 2D shapes using the recording function in the app.
