Resource 4: 3D objects

 Background information / subject knowledge for teacher

You will find useful resources on the website below:

This website provides background information on ‘shape, space and measures’. The ‘revision bite’ on 3D objects is particularly relevant.

3D objects have surfaces (sides), edges and vertices (corners).

The exception is the sphere, which has no edges or vertices.
