Fascinating Fact:

A square pyramid has a square base and pointy top, like some sandcastles or pyramids.

In KS1 Maths, children learn to recognise and name 3D shapes by their features. Pupils talk about faces, edges, and vertices, and match shapes to everyday objects around the classroom and home.

Key Terms

3D shape: A solid object you can hold, like a cube or cone.
Face: A flat surface on a 3D shape, such as a square face on a cube.
Edge / Vertex: An edge is where faces meet; a vertex is a corner/point.

Try a quick warm-up: play the Numeracy Game to build confidence before the quiz.
