What your child practised

  • Naming solids (cube, cuboid, cylinder, cone, sphere, prisms, pyramids) and counting their faces, edges and corners.
  • Nets: a flat shape that folds up into a box.
  • Angles (acute, right, obtuse), and why triangles make strong frames.
  • Circles: the centre, the radius and the diameter (the diameter is double the radius).
