Net Investigation

Visualising shape is a challenging area of maths – sometimes children (and adults including Mrs Jennings) find it hard to see how a net will be folded!

Today, the children were given parts of nets which they had to pair together to make a complete net. They had to work out which pairs fit together and then say which shape had been created. The investigation led to brilliant discussions between the children about the properties of 3D shapes. It also allowed them to use their kinaesthetic learning skills and to experiment and be wrong and work out why. The children were resilient and competitive and it was great to see them working in pairs collaboratively.
