📚 Topic Summary
A cube is a 3D shape that has faces, edges, and vertices. Think of a dice! A face is the flat surface of the cube. An edge is where two faces meet, creating a line. A vertex (or vertices if there are more than one) is a corner where edges meet. This worksheet will help you count how many faces, edges, and vertices a cube has!
