E

Three-dimensional (3D) shapes are solids with length, height and depth. Properties include faces, vertices and edges. 3D shapes have 2D shape faces.

2D shape, 3D shape, side, face, edge, vertex, vertices, triangle, square, rectangle,

quadrilateral, pentagon, hexagon, octagon, decagon, circle, sphere, cube, cuboid, cylinder, cone, square-based pyramid, triangular-based pyramid, triangular-based prism, hexagonal-based prism, octahedron, icosahedron, dodecahedron

Look at each pair of shapes.

Hint: Compare faces, vertices and edges.

What is the same and what is different about the shapes in each pair? Use the grid to record your ideas. Shapes

What is the same?

Both have 6 faces and 12 edges.
