Question 5 of 8intermediate✨ CreateShort Answer3 marks

Which shapes can you build?

Correct Answer

Using clay and sticks, children can build 3D shapes like cubes, cuboids, cylinders, cones, and pyramids.

Using Clay: Clay can be rolled to make spheres, cylinders, and cones.

Using Sticks with Clay: Sticks can be connected with clay balls at corners to make skeletons of cubes and cuboids.

The clay forms the corners/joints and sticks form the edges of these shapes.

Explanation

The chapter shows an example of shapes made with clay and sticks. Children can create skeletons of 3D shapes using sticks as edges and small clay balls as vertices (corners). This hands-on activity helps children understand the structure of 3D shapes - how many edges, faces, and corners each shape has. Cubes have 12 edges and 8 corners, cuboids also have 12 edges and 8 corners.
