3D Shapes
Explore the world of 3D shapes with our interactive guide designed for grade 4-6 kids.
3D shapes, also known as solid shapes, are shapes that have three dimensions: length, width, and height. These shapes have volume and can hold space. Some examples of 3D shapes include:
Sphere
: A sphere is a round, symmetrical shape that looks like a ball. It has no edges or corners and is completely symmetrical.Cube
: A cube is a rectangular shape that has six square faces. All of its faces are the same size and shape, and all of its edges are the same length.Cylinder
: A cylinder is a shape that has two circular faces (top and bottom) and one curved face (the side). It has no edges or corners.Cone
: A cone is a shape that has one circular face (the base) and one curved face (the side). It has one point at the top called the apex.Pyramid
: A pyramid is a shape that has a base (usually a square or rectangle) and four triangular faces that come to a point at the top.Triangular prism
: A triangular prism is a shape that has two triangular bases and three rectangular faces.
These are just a few examples of 3D shapes, there are many more like the Torus, Octahedron, etc.
It's important to understand that 3D shapes have properties such as edges, vertices, and faces and children can learn to identify these properties and use them to classify the shapes.
You can practice identifying and classifying 3D shapes by using blocks, or real-life objects like a ball or a box, this will help the child to understand the concept better.
