Characteristics of 3d Shapes - Solve the 3D shape properties

Sep 30, 2026

Worksheets on the properties of three-dimensional shapes, focusing on counting vertices, edges, and faces. The tasks ask learners to determine how many vertices a cube has and how many edges it has, then extend to triangular prisms, rectangular prisms, rectangular pyramids, and spheres. An answer key section provides the correct counts for each numbered question. Materials are presented in a structured fill-in format for classroom practice and assessment.
