🎨 Part 5: Drawing and Extension Activities

15. Draw and label a triangle, square, and circle in the space below:
16. Extension Challenge: Explain the difference between a 2D shape and a 3D shape:
17. Extension Challenge: Name three objects in your classroom that are examples of 3D shapes and identify which shape they represent:
18. Challenge: If you cut a cylinder in half horizontally, what 2D shape would you see?

✅ Success Criteria

By the end of this worksheet, I can:

Identify common 2D shapes (triangle, square, rectangle, circle, hexagon)

Identify common 3D shapes (cube, sphere, cylinder, cone, pyramid)

Count the sides, angles, and vertices of 2D shapes

Count the faces, edges, and vertices of 3D shapes

Explain the difference between 2D and 3D shapes

Give real-world examples of different shapes

Differentiation Support: If you need help, ask a friend or teacher to explain the difference between faces, edges, and vertices using a physical object like a dice or book.

Teacher Note: This worksheet uses clear, simple language and visual cues to support students with dyslexia. Provide physical 3D objects for hands-on learning where possible.
