 Hi, recently I have used an activity for shapes in maths. It is a multi-sensory approach and the resources are all around the home. When talking 3D shapes with your child try to use 'concrete' shapes to discuss. Your child can touch them, feel and see what each shape represents. I used a tube of Smaries for a hexagonal prism, a Tolberone for a triangular prism, tin of beans for cylinder, ball for a sphere, dice for a cube, box of tissues for a cuboid. There are so many. You could then ask your child to find the shapes around the home.
Let me know how you get on?
