📐 Part 1: Identifying 3D Shapes

1. Circle the correct name for each 3D shape:

Shape A: (Picture of a cube)

Sphere

Cube

Cylinder

Cone

Shape B: (Picture of a cylinder)

Pyramid

Cuboid

Cylinder

Sphere

Shape C: (Picture of a sphere)

Cone

Sphere

Cube

Pyramid

🔢 Part 2: Counting Properties

2. Fill in the table with the correct number of faces, edges and vertices for each 3D shape:

Cube:

Faces: _______ Edges: _______ Vertices: _______

Cuboid:

Faces: _______ Edges: _______ Vertices: _______

Triangular Pyramid:

Faces: _______ Edges: _______ Vertices: _______

Sphere:

Faces: _______ Edges: _______ Vertices: _______

Cylinder:

Faces: _______ Edges: _______ Vertices: _______

🎯 Part 3: True or False

3. Tick the box if the statement is TRUE or leave blank if FALSE:

A cube has 6 faces that are all squares

A sphere has 8 vertices

A cylinder has 2 circular faces

All faces of a cuboid are rectangles

A cone has 1 vertex at the top

A triangular pyramid has 4 faces

🔍 Part 4: Shape Detective

4. Read the clues and write the name of the 3D shape:

Clue 1: I have 6 faces, 12 edges and 8 vertices. All my faces are squares. What am I?

Clue 2: I have no edges, no vertices and 1 curved face. I can roll in any direction. What am I?

Clue 3: I have 2 faces, 1 edge and no vertices. My faces are circles. What am I?

Clue 4: I have 1 circular face, 1 vertex and 1 edge. I have a pointed top. What am I?

📝 Part 5: Matching Activity

5. Match each 3D shape with its correct description by drawing lines:

Cube

Sphere

Cylinder

Cone

Triangular Pyramid

Has 4 triangular faces

Has 6 square faces

Has 2 circular faces

Has 1 circular face and 1 vertex

Has no edges or vertices

🎨 Part 6: Drawing and Describing

6. Draw a simple picture of a cuboid in the box below:

7. Look around your classroom. Name 3 real objects that are examples of 3D shapes and identify what shape they are:

Object 1: _________________________ Shape: _________________________

Object 2: _________________________ Shape: _________________________

Object 3: _________________________ Shape: _________________________

8. Explain in your own words what makes a 3D shape different from a 2D shape:
