Year 6 Prisms and Pyramids Variety Pack | 2 Maths Units

Explore Year 6 prisms and pyramids with two distinct, complete geometry units. This bundle combines editable teaching and quiz slides with printable displays, sorting and construction activities, games, worksheets, answers, assessments and rubrics.

Use one unit as your core sequence and the other for further modelling, consolidation, intervention, revision or extension. Together they provide varied ways to classify solids, connect three-dimensional objects with nets and drawings, and reason about cross-sections.
