Cube, Cuboid, Sphere, Cone & Cylinder
Unlike flat shapes, 3D shapes are solid objects that you can hold in your hands. They have length, width, and height!
Cube (Slides)
Sphere (Rolls)
Cylinder (Both)
Cone (Both)
3D Shapes: Cube, Sphere, Cylinder, and Cone (Rolling and Sliding).
1. The 5 Core Solid Shapes
• Cube: 6 flat square faces (like a playing die or ice cube).
• Cuboid: 6 rectangular faces (like a book, brick, or cereal box).
• Sphere: Perfectly round in all directions (like a football or marble).
• Cylinder: 2 flat circular ends and 1 curved surface (like a tin can or battery).
• Cone: 1 flat circular base tapering to a sharp point (like a party hat or traffic cone).
Parts of a 3D Shape: Face (flat surface), Edge (line where faces meet), Vertex (sharp corner).
2. Flat Faces vs Curved Surfaces
A cube and cuboid have only flat faces. A sphere has only a curved surface. A cylinder and cone have BOTH flat faces and curved surfaces!
Check Point: How many faces does a cube have? Exactly 6 faces!
💡 Key Learning Takeaways
- 3D shapes are solid objects with length, width, and height.
- Cube and cuboid have 6 flat faces.
- Cylinder and cone have both flat and curved surfaces.
