Description

Support your students in mastering 3D object properties with the versatile and visually clear 3D Object Property Posters. This set of 13 posters is designed to provide a consistent and comprehensive reference point for students learning about geometric solids. Print them onto coloured cardstock to create a vibrant and cohesive display for your classroom.


Each poster includes a clear illustration of a 3D object alongside its key properties—covering all the essential 3D shape vocabulary used across Australian classrooms. Terms such as faces, edges, vertices, curved surfaces, and flat surfaces are featured across the set, making these posters suitable for explicit teaching, independent reference, and visual reinforcement throughout your maths program.


Whether you're building a maths wall, setting up individual student shape folders, or preparing a hands-on geometry workstation, this poster set offers maximum flexibility. The resource comes in editable format, our basic fun font, and all Australian state fonts—making it ideal for a range of year levels and learning environments.


Key Learning Outcomes:

  • ✅ Identify and name a variety of 3D objects
  • ✅ Describe and compare shape properties using appropriate mathematical vocabulary
  • ✅ Recognise key terms such as faces, edges, vertices, curved and flat surfaces
  • ✅ Use classroom displays as visual anchors for geometry understanding
  • ✅ Build confidence in classifying and analysing geometric solids

Materials Needed:

  • Printed posters (A4 or A3 recommended)
  • Coloured cardstock for display printing
  • Laminator (optional for long-lasting use)
  • Wall space, whiteboard, or geometry display board

How to Use:

  1. Print and laminate posters onto coloured paper or cardstock for a bright, cohesive display.
  2. Introduce each shape using the corresponding poster during whole-class or small group instruction.
  3. Display the posters in your maths area for reference during tasks, discussions, and assessments.
  4. Use the editable version to adjust terms or add custom notes for differentiated learning needs.
  5. Print smaller versions for desk reference cards, student shape books, or geometry centres.

Ideas for Classroom Use:

  • 💡 Set up a 3D object anchor wall to support learning throughout your unit
  • 💡 Print four-to-a-page to create personal shape dictionaries for student folders
  • 💡 Use laminated versions as part of hands-on stations or revision activities
  • 💡 Pair posters with physical shape models for interactive sorting tasks
  • 💡 Display during oral language tasks to reinforce vocabulary in context

Top Teacher Tips:

  • 💛 Use coloured borders or backgrounds to visually group shape types (e.g. prisms, pyramids, curved solids)
  • 💛 Create a reusable flip book using mini versions and a ring binder for student toolkits
  • 💛 Provide students with highlighters or dry-erase markers to interact with laminated posters
  • 💛 Highlight one poster per week to guide focus and reinforce learning over time

3D Object Property Posters are a versatile, curriculum-aligned resource that supports vocabulary development, geometry understanding, and visual learning—perfect for display, reference, and ongoing support across your maths program.


Available in our basic fun font, editable version, and all Australian state fonts.
