Resources for activity 1: Properties of 3d shapes.
Look at the 3d shapes below. Can you fill in the table to tell me about their
properties? How many faces, edges and vertices does each have? Can you work
out which net goes with which shape from their properties? Use the larger nets
in the resource pack if you would like to make each shape to help you.
Cuboid
Cone
Cylinder
Sphere
Square-based
pyramid
Triangular prism
Tetrahedron
Resources for activity 2: Sorting 3d shapes according to
their properties.
Venn Diagram
Looking at the 3d shapes from activity 1, can you sort each shape into the correct part of
the Venn Diagrams? Remember, if it doesn’t fit in either category, it goes outside; if it fits
with both categories, it goes in the centre.
E.g. cube
Is a prism Is a pyramid
Make your own Venn Diagram by choosing two different properties the shapes could have.
Write these as the headings and sort the shapes like you before.

The net of a cube has been cut into two. It could be put
together in several ways so that it could be folded into a cube.
