Maths: 3D Clay Making

This week for math's. Our class have been working on making 3D shapes for our class so we can use them for learning. What we used to make the shape was the air drying clay that Mrs Stone (our math's teacher) gave us. Then we were put into three groups, then we each got to pick a 3D shape.We we chose those shapes we had to model it meaning this was going to get mess!

The shape I chose was Octahedron it has:


  • 12 Edges
  • 6 Verticals
  • 8 Faces

  1. Hi Leilani,

    What a fabulous shape to choose! It was great to see you trying a more challenging shape than a cube or sphere, even though it was tricky to construct. What would be some questions for younger students to ask about this shape?
