3D Shape Posters with objects

Almost each and every object surrounding us can be identified as a 3D shape. These objects surround our daily lives as food, toys, in nature, and so much more! Often, these objects go unnoticed and aren't brought into our classroom conversations. Change that with these 3D shape posters!

High-quality, colorful, clear photos of “real world” objectives found in life to show 3D shapes in our environment. All you need to do is print and laminate for posters or display virtually. These posters could be used in math centers as a guide for shape sorting or as clues during a 3D shape scavenger hunt. These posters invite students to make connections between objects in their lives and 3D shapes. A powerful visual aid to use during class discussions to recognizing and describing the attributes of 3D shapes.
