1. www.earlybirdyeducation.com 3D shape statements- PowerPoint 40-60 months This powerpoint can be used to support the teaching of ‘Shape, space and measure’ targeted towards the 40-60 month age band.

2. Teaching tips: This can be used to help recognise properties of 3D shapes. Read the descriptions out loud, can the children identify which statement is true? Encourage them to explain their answer and thinking. Remember, whilst reading out the descriptions it may help to refer to real 3D shapes. This will help all learners and prompt them identify which statement is true or false. www.earlybirdyeducation.com
