EASYTEACHING.NET

Overview:

Students match 3D shapes with their names and features by cutting and pasting. Designed for early to middle years students.

Learning Objectives:

  • Identify and name various 3D shapes.
  • Understand the properties of each 3D shape, including vertices, faces and edges.
  • Develop fine motor skills through cutting and pasting.

How the Activity Works:

Students cut out the 3D shapes and their corresponding name and feature labels from the worksheet. They then match each shape with the correct name and its properties, such as a rectangular prism with 8 vertices, 6 faces, and 12 edges. This sorting activity helps reinforce understanding of 3D shapes and their characteristics.
