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

Shape A: Has 6 faces, 12 edges, and 8 vertices. All faces are squares.

Cylinder

Cube

Cone

Sphere

Shape B: Has 2 circular faces, 1 curved edge, and no vertices.

Pyramid

Prism

Cylinder

Cube

Shape C: Has 1 circular face, 1 curved edge, and 1 vertex.

Cone

Sphere

Cylinder

Triangular prism

🔢 Part 2: Counting Properties

2. Complete the table by filling in the number of faces, edges, and vertices for each 3D shape:

Rectangular Prism:

Faces: _______ Edges: _______ Vertices: _______

Triangular Pyramid:

Faces: _______ Edges: _______ Vertices: _______

Pentagonal Prism:

Faces: _______ Edges: _______ Vertices: _______

3. Which 3D shapes have curved surfaces? Check all that apply:

Cube

Sphere

Cylinder

Cone

Rectangular prism

Square pyramid

🎨 Part 3: Drawing and Visualising

4. Draw a cube showing its 3D appearance. Label at least 3 faces, 3 edges, and 3 vertices:
5. Sketch what you would see if you looked at a cylinder from the top view:
6. Draw what you would see if you looked at a square pyramid from the front view:

🔗 Part 4: Matching and Vocabulary

7. Match each 3D shape with its correct description:
1. Sphere
2. Triangular prism
3. Square pyramid
4. Cylinder
A. Has 5 faces, 8 edges, 6 vertices
B. Has no faces, edges, or vertices
C. Has 5 faces, 8 edges, 5 vertices
D. Has 3 faces, 2 edges, 0 vertices
8. Fill in the blanks using the correct geometric vocabulary:

A _____________ is a flat surface of a 3D shape. An _____________ is where two faces meet. A _____________ (or corner) is where three or more edges meet.

9. Explain the difference between a prism and a pyramid:

🧠 Part 5: Problem Solving

10. A mystery 3D shape has exactly 8 faces and 18 edges. How many vertices does it have? Show your working:
11. Name a real-world object that is shaped like each of the following:

Sphere: _________________________

Cylinder: _________________________

Cone: _________________________

Rectangular prism: _________________________

12. Describe one interesting thing you learned about 3D shapes today:
