Fascinating Fact:

Honeycomb cells are hexagons. A bolt head often looks hexagon shaped.

In KS1 Maths, children link shapes to familiar items. Wheels are circles, books are rectangles, tins are cylinders. Matching objects to shapes builds vocabulary about sides, corners, faces, and edges.

Key Terms

  • 2D shape: A flat shape like a circle, square, or triangle.
  • 3D shape: A solid object like a cube, cylinder, or cone.
  • Object match: Finding a real item with the same shape features.

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

What shapes can I find at home for Year 1?

Plates are circles, doors are rectangles, a slice of pizza is a triangle, tins are cylinders, and dice are cubes. Name them as you see them.

How do I tell if something is 2D or 3D?

2D shapes are flat and drawn on paper. 3D shapes are solid and you can pick them up. Tins and balls are 3D, while a drawn circle is 2D.

Why are honeycombs hexagon shaped?

Hexagons fit together with no gaps and use space efficiently, so bees can store lots of honey using the least wax.
