3D Shapes Booklet

Name six 3D shapes — cylinder, cube, sphere, pyramid, cone and rectangular prism — from labeled diagrams and descriptive clues.

Count and record the number of faces, edges and vertices for each of the six 3D shapes.

Define face, edge, vertex and base using cloze sentences paired with a labeled shape diagram.

Determine whether a shape has a line of symmetry by drawing the line and completing a symmetry sentence.

Print the booklet pages two-sided to save paper, but print the final two shape-cutout pages single-sided since those pieces are cut out and glued elsewhere (page 2).

Have scissors and glue ready before starting the matching page, since students cut individual 3D shape images and glue them beside the matching name (pages 11-12, 46).

Use the completed second copy of the booklet as a self-check key so students can verify their shape names and face/edge/vertex counts before turning the booklet in (pages 39-44).

3D shape identification — students name cylinder, cube, sphere, pyramid, cone and rectangular prism from diagrams and from lists of clues such as "6 square faces, 8 vertices, 12 edges" (pages 59-64).

Attribute counting — students record the number of flat and curved faces, edges and vertices for each solid in a shapes attributes table (pages 35, 65-66).

Geometry vocabulary application — students complete cloze sentences defining face, edge, vertex, base and symmetry using a labeled diagram as a reference (pages 14-18).

Cut-and-paste matching — students cut out individual shape images and glue each one beside its correct printed name (pages 11-12, 46).

Symmetry recognition — students draw a line of symmetry on a shape and complete a sentence stating whether the shape is symmetrical (pages 18, 51).
