Support your students' understanding of 3D shapes with the visually grounded and curriculum-aligned 3D Object Property Posters – Burn Off. Designed to complement the earthy tones of our Burn Off décor theme, these posters bring clarity and visual warmth to your classroom’s maths displays while reinforcing the key features of 3D objects.

Each of the twelve posters includes a high-quality image of a 3D object accompanied by its properties. To support state-based curriculum variation, the posters use a wide range of terminology—such as faces, edges, vertices, curved surfaces, and flat surfaces—ensuring they're suited for classrooms across Australia. This makes the set a reliable resource for both instruction and student reference.

This resource comes in multiple format options, including an editable version, our basic fun font, and all Australian state fonts. Whether you're introducing geometry concepts, setting up a maths wall, or preparing individual reference materials, these posters are flexible, functional, and aesthetically cohesive with your Burn Off-themed learning environment.

Key Learning Outcomes:

• ✅ Identify and name twelve common 3D objects
• ✅ Describe the properties of 3D shapes using accurate mathematical language
• ✅ Recognise key features such as faces, edges, vertices, curved surfaces, and flat surfaces
• ✅ Use classroom displays to reinforce shape vocabulary and understanding
• ✅ Support student independence and confidence in geometry discussions

What’s Included:

• 12 full-page 3D object property posters
• Each poster features the object name, a detailed image, and clearly labelled properties
• Shapes include: cube, sphere, cone, cylinder, pyramid, hemisphere, rectangular prism, triangular prism, pentagonal prism, hexagonal prism, octagonal prism, and square-based pyramid
• Editable version included for easy customisation
• Available in our basic fun font and all Australian state fonts

Materials Needed:

• Printed posters (A4 or A3 recommended)
• Laminator (optional for durability)
• Display wall space in your maths or inquiry learning area
• Optional: small printouts for maths journals or student folders

How to Use:

1. Print and laminate each poster to ensure long-lasting use.
2. Introduce one shape at a time using the poster as a visual reference during lessons.
3. Display all twelve posters together on a maths wall or rotate them as part of your weekly focus.
4. Encourage students to use the posters during independent tasks and group work.
5. Use the editable version to adjust terminology or personalise based on student needs.

Ideas for Classroom Use:

• 💡 Set up a rotating “Shape of the Week” feature with one poster on display
• 💡 Pair posters with hands-on 3D object models for sorting and identification tasks
• 💡 Add to student reference folders to support shape writing and assessments
• 💡 Include posters in your maths rotation station as an anchor tool
• 💡 Encourage students to match real-world objects to the shape shown on each poster

Top Teacher Tips:

• 💛 Use colour-coded frames to visually group shape types (prisms, pyramids, curved solids)
• 💛 Laminate for dry-erase use when modelling or completing vocabulary tasks
• 💛 Display near shape sorting tubs or inquiry tables to support hands-on learning
• 💛 Refer to posters during oral language sessions or when teaching shape descriptors

3D Object Property Posters – Burn Off are a curriculum-aligned, visually grounded tool designed to help your students describe, compare, and understand the features of 3D objects—all while maintaining a warm, calming classroom style.
