3D Shapes Matching Worksheet

The matching page mixes names of familiar plane figures and geometric solids in one bank. Learners identify the geometric form represented by each picture and draw a line to the correct label. Because 2D and 3D choices appear together, the task requires deciding whether an object is being represented as flat or solid before selecting a specific name. A labeled second page shows the intended matches for instructional review.
