What this worksheet teaches

• Identify 3D shapes - cube, cuboid, sphere, cylinder, cone - and count faces, edges and vertices.
• Find lines of symmetry in simple shapes and letters.
• Recognise the same shape at different sizes and orientations.
• Combine two shapes to make a new one (two triangles into a square).

How to use this worksheet

For symmetry, fold a paper copy of the shape rather than drawing the line. If the halves match, the fold is a line of symmetry; that physical check beats judging by eye.

Sample questions from this worksheet

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between an edge and a vertex?

An edge is a line where two faces meet; a vertex is a point where edges meet - the pointy bit. Tracing edges and tapping vertices keeps the words apart.

How many lines of symmetry does a rectangle have?

Two, not four. Children often add the diagonals, which is worth testing by folding a paper rectangle corner to corner and seeing that it does not match.

Do we need shape blocks at home?

Not specially bought ones. A tissue box, a ball, a tin and an ice-cream cone cover every 3D shape on this sheet.
