Empower your learners with bold, dynamic visuals using the 3D Object Property Posters – Hero Kids. This exciting set of twelve full-page posters is part of our Hero Kids décor theme and is designed to support the exploration of 3D shapes while adding energy and colour to your classroom displays.

Each poster includes a clearly illustrated 3D object and a breakdown of its features—such as faces, edges, vertices, curved surfaces, and flat surfaces. These posters reflect the range of mathematical vocabulary used across Australia, making them suitable for any classroom regardless of your regional curriculum or terminology preferences.

With editable versions included, this resource is perfect for differentiated learning and classroom flexibility. Whether you're displaying them on your maths wall, using them in small group rotations, or printing mini versions for individual use, these posters will support students in recognising, describing, and classifying 3D objects with confidence.

Key Learning Outcomes:

• ✅ Identify and name twelve common 3D objects
• ✅ Describe the properties of 3D shapes using mathematical terms
• ✅ Recognise features such as faces, edges, vertices, curved surfaces, and flat surfaces
• ✅ Use posters as reference tools to support independent and group learning
• ✅ Build geometry vocabulary through consistent visual reinforcement

What’s Included:

• 12 full-page posters, each featuring one 3D object
• Each poster includes labelled properties in a range of terminology options
• Shapes include: cube, sphere, cone, cylinder, pyramid, hemisphere, rectangular prism, triangular prism, pentagonal prism, hexagonal prism, octagonal prism, and square-based pyramid
• Editable version for customisation
• Available in our basic fun font and all Australian state fonts

Materials Needed:

• Printed copies of the posters (A4 or A3 sizes recommended)
• Laminator (optional for reuse and durability)
• Wall or display board space for maths areas or rotation zones
• Optional: mini versions for student journals or reference cards

How to Use:

1. Print and laminate the posters for classroom display or student use.
2. Introduce one shape at a time using the posters to support direct instruction.
3. Encourage students to reference the posters when identifying and describing shapes during learning tasks.
4. Use editable versions to modify language, add translations, or tailor properties based on your teaching focus.
5. Rotate posters as part of a geometry focus wall or keep all on display as a visual anchor.

Ideas for Classroom Use:

• 💡 Use as anchor charts during 3D shape investigations or assessments
• 💡 Display near your shape model station for visual-tactile learning
• 💡 Provide students with printed mini versions for their folders or shape toolkits
• 💡 Create shape-matching games using the properties shown on the posters
• 💡 Pair with hands-on construction tasks or shape hunts

Top Teacher Tips:

• 💛 Highlight one shape per week with a poster on display and a related task
• 💛 Group posters by shape families (prisms, pyramids, curved solids) for sorting
• 💛 Use dry-erase markers on laminated versions for reusable lessons
• 💛 Encourage peer teaching by having students present a poster to the class

3D Object Property Posters – Hero Kids are a bold, engaging, and curriculum-aligned way to support your students in learning the features and vocabulary of 3D objects—while energising your classroom with superhero-inspired decor.
