3D Shapes Classification Worksheet
Help Oliver and Zainab classify the 3D shapes used in the aquarium gift shop. Complete each challenge using the shape descriptions provided. Remember: a face is a flat surface, an edge is where two faces meet, and a vertex is a corner.
Identify and describe
Use the clues in each challenge to help with these aquarium gift-shop activities.
1.Oliver finds a gift box with six equal square faces. Which solid is it?
- Sphere
- Cube
- Cylinder
- Cone
2.Zainab tests a smooth ornament. It can roll in every direction and has no flat faces, edges or vertices. Name its shape.
3.A souvenir tin has two circular flat faces and one curved surface. Which solid is it?
- Cone
- Cylinder
- Cuboid
- Pyramid
4.Complete the description of a cube: it has faces, edges and vertices. All its faces are the same shape.
5.Sort these solids into the two groups: cube, sphere, cylinder, cone, cuboid, square-based pyramid. Write each solid in the best group.
6.Tick every solid that could roll on a flat table if placed in a suitable position: cube, sphere, cylinder, cone, cuboid.
- Cube
- Sphere
- Cylinder
- Cone
- Cuboid
Compare and create
Use what you know about faces, edges, vertices and curved surfaces to explain your choices.
7.Which statement about a cuboid is true?
- It has one curved surface and no vertices.
- It has six rectangular faces, 12 edges and 8 vertices.
- It has six equal square faces.

9.Match each solid to the correct description.
- Cone
- Sphere
- Cylinder
- One curved surface and no edges or vertices
- Two circular flat faces and one curved surface
- One circular flat face, one curved surface and one vertex
10.Invent a souvenir made from one or more 3D shapes. Draw it and label the shapes you used. Then explain one property of each shape.
