About this resource

This file is a PDF that is 24 pages. It includes five different games that help students practise 3D shapes and shape properties. 3D shapes included are: cone, square pyramid, cube, sphere, rectangular prism, and cylinder.

The games can be set up at a maths station or for fun when students finish their work. These games can be used for various year levels such as Foundation to Year 2.

Game 1- play a game of memory with all the 3d shapes. There is also a set of blank cards that students can use to draw their own 3d shapes or something that resembles the 3D shape shown.

Game 2- Match the 3d shape with its name.

Game 3- Match the 3d shape with a description of the shape using its number of faces, vertices, and edges.
