3D shapes

3D shapes are solid objects that have three dimensions: length, width, and height. They can be found all around us, from the shapes of buildings to the shapes of fruits.

Here are some common 3D shapes:

• Cube: A cube is a shape with six square faces. All the faces of a cube are the same size.

  

• Cuboid: A cuboid is a shape with six rectangular faces. The opposite faces of a cuboid are the same size.

  

• Sphere: A sphere is a round shape like a ball. It has no flat sides.

• Cylinder: A cylinder is a shape with two circular ends and a curved surface.

• Cone: A cone is a shape with a circular base and a curved surface that comes to a point.

• Pyramid: A pyramid is a shape with a base and triangular faces that meet at a point.

Properties of 3D shapes:

• Faces: The flat sides of a 3D shape.

• Edges: The lines where the faces meet.

• Vertices: The points where the edges meet.

Here are some activities you can do to learn more about 3D shapes:

• Build 3D shapes: Use blocks or other materials to build different 3D shapes.

• Find 3D shapes in your environment: Look for shapes in your home, school, and community.

• Play shape games: There are many games and puzzles that can help you learn about shapes.

By learning about 3D shapes, you'll be able to identify and describe shapes in your everyday life.
