They both have a face that is a circle.
Cones and Cylinders
1
I have 2 circular faces and I can roll.
cylinder
This 3D shape has 2 flat faces and a curved surface. It can be stacked or rolled.
What is a cylinder?
One 3D shape doesn't have any faces, and the other one has one face.
What is the difference between a cone and a sphere?
They all have a curved surface and can roll.

How many faces does a cylinder have?
2
I don't have any vertices or faces, but if you were going bowling, you would definitely want me there!
What is a sphere?
This 3D shape has 6 faces that are all the same size. It also has 12 edges. It is a good choice for stacking because it has way more than 2 faces.
What is a cube?
One 3D shape only has square faces, the other has square and rectangular faces.
What is the difference between a cube and a rectangular prism?
They have the same number of vertices, edges and faces.
cube and the rectangular prism
How many faces does a rectangular prism have?
I have 8 vertices. All of my faces are the same size and shape.
Cube
Name 3 attributes of a pyramid.
It has 5 faces, it has 5 vertices, it has 8 edges, it can be stacked.
One 3D shape has a point at the top with 5 faces, the other one can roll and looks like a can.
What is the pyramid and the cylinder
These shapes can be stacked on top of each other.
Cylinder, cube, rectangular prism.
This shape has 6 faces that are all the same shape and size.
Cube
With only 1 flat face, I'm not the best choice for stacking.
What is a cone?
This 3D shape has rectangular faces and square faces.
What is a rectangular prism?
One 3D shape has 6 vertices and triangular faces, the other shape has 8 vertices and only square faces.
What is the difference between the triangular prism and the cube?
These shapes cannot roll.
Cube, rectangular prism, pyramid.
This shape has no faces.
Sphere
I have way more than 2 faces...in fact, I have 6. 2 of my faces are the same size, and the other 4 match too. My shape makes me ideal for stacking.
What is a rectangular prism?
This 3D shape has 2 triangular faces and 5 vertices.
What is a pyramid?
One 3D shape can roll and stack, the other one can only roll.
