# Year 1 Maths - Identifying 3D Shapes

  ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/IMG_9458.jpeg)   8 January 2026

In our maths session this morning we were looking at recognising and naming 3D shapes. The children first learnt a new song which focused on cylinders ,cones, cube and sphere which they absolutely loved! Next we used the 3D shapes to work on identifying how many vertices, faces and edges each of the shapes had. The children worked extremely hard to develop their understanding especially with the sphere and cylinders which were super tricky!
