In the last two weeks of term we worked on identifying 3D shapes and understanding how a 3D shape can be flattened, being called a shape net. This led to creating a Geometrocity!
The Geometrocity involved identifying and naming 3D shapes, planning their own grids on A4 paper to what shops/layout/shapes they would use then the final step was to create the actual grid using A3 paper and 3D shapes as buildings to add to our Room 22 Geometrocity. This project also really helped our fine motor skills and perseverance having to concentrate to put together the buildings.
Check out the photos next of how it all unfolded, there was such a variety of buildings…. motorbike shops, horse shops, parks, gyms, takeaway outlets, jail, Police station, The Warehouse, Target plus a whole heap more!
Ever thought about creating your own city? or have you used 3D shapes to create something else?
