3D Shapes Properties Worksheet
Help the Australian Museum’s shape team sort a collection of objects. Use the shape gallery, then solve each challenge. A flat face is a plane surface; curved surfaces are not counted as flat faces.
Shape gallery
Study these simple 3D shape sketches. The dashed lines show hidden edges.
1.The gallery shows, from left to right: a solid with six equal square faces; a box-shaped solid with rectangular faces; a solid with two circular flat ends and one curved surface; a solid with one circular flat base and a point; and a ball-shaped solid. Match each description to a name.
- Six equal square faces
- Rectangular box shape
- Two circular flat ends
- Circular base and one point
- Ball-shaped, no flat faces
- Cuboid
- Sphere
- Cone
- Cube
- Cylinder
2.A solid has 6 flat faces, 12 edges and 8 vertices. Every face is a square. Which shape is it?
- Cube
- Cone
- Sphere
- Cylinder
3.A cube-shaped gift box has square faces. How many faces, edges and vertices does the cube have? Write the three numbers in order.
4.A rectangular prism (cuboid) has 6 flat faces, 12 edges and 8 vertices. Decide whether the statement is true or false.
TrueFalse
5.A tin can is shaped like a cylinder. How many flat circular faces does it have? Name its other kind of surface.
6.A party hat has one circular flat base and one point at its tip. What 3D shape is it? Does it have any edges?
7.A round marble is modelled as a sphere. How many flat faces, edges and vertices does a sphere have?
8.Grace places a cube, a cylinder and a sphere on a flat table. Which of these can roll smoothly when pushed, and what feature helps it roll?
9.A triangular pyramid has a triangular base and three triangular sides. How many triangular faces does it have altogether? How many vertices does it have?
10.In your own words, explain one way a 3D shape is different from a 2D shape. Include an example of each.
Draw a cuboid like a cereal box. Label one face, one edge and one vertex on your drawing.
