Lesson Background:
As part of our Maths unit on 3D shapes, we created these 3D shape artworks, based on those from https://iblog.dearbornschools.org/kobeissiart/2020/05/18/2d-shape-vs-3d-form/
Lesson Materials:
1 A4 sheet with the background shapes drawn in

coloured textas
1 black sharpie
charcoal
scissors
glue

3. Use the black sharpie to outline the shapes.
4. Model how to use the charcoal to shade the 3D shapes, as the children follow along.
5. Cut the shapes out and stick them on the background.
