About this resource

Find real-world examples of cones, spheres and prisms. Draw or name each object in the matching column.

  • Cone, sphere, and prism reference shapes
  • Three labelled columns for found objects
  • Choice to draw or write each real-world example

Curriculum reference — England: Identifying physical shapes supports Ontario Kindergarten; England objective and named shapes need exact matching. Recognition of the included common solids supports Year1; this is not a complete prism-properties assessment. Selected skills only; reference stage is not an overall reading age, complete curriculum coverage, or an automatic recommendation for every learner.
