How are they similar?
They both have a single pointed vertex at the top.
Cone and pyramid
A sphere has a...
Curved surface
I have 2 circular faces and I can roll.
Cylinder
Name 3 attributes of a cylinder.
It has 2 flat faces, 1 curved surface and 2 edges.
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.
Sphere, cylinder and cone
A cone has...
1 face and 1 curved surface
I don't have any vertices or flat faces, but if you were going bowling, you would definitely want me there!
Sphere
Name 3 attributes of a cube.
It has 6 faces, 8 vertices and 12 edges.
One 3D shape only has square faces, the other has square and rectangular faces.
What is the difference between a cube and a square prism?
They have the same number of vertices, edges and faces.
Cube and rectangular prism
A cylinder has...
2 faces and 1 curved surface
You may not be able to roll me, but if you were going camping in a tent you need this 3D shape!
Triangular prism
Name 3 attributes of a square based pyramid.
It has 5 faces, 5 vertices and 8 edges.
One 3D shape can roll, the other one can stack.
What is the cone/cylinder/sphere and the cube/rectangular prism/triangular prism/cylinder?
They both have triangles as some of their faces.
Triangular prism and squared based pyramid
A square based pyramid has...
4 triangular faces and 1 square face
With only 1 flat face and 1 vertex, you can find me on top of some towers.
Cone
Name 3 attributes of a sphere.
It has 1 curved surface, 0 vertices and 0 egdes.
One 3D shape has 6 vertices and some triangular faces, the other shape has 8 vertices and only square faces.
What is the difference between the triangular prism and the cube?
They both have at least 1 square face.
Squared based Pyramid / Cube / Square Prism
A triangular prism has...
3 rectangular faces and 2 triangular faces
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 between them. My shape makes me ideal for stacking.
Rectangular prism
Name 3 attributes of a triangular prism.
One 3D shape can roll and stack, the other one can only roll.
