Imagine you're looking at a box. What shapes do you see on its sides? Squares and rectangles, right? This worksheet is all about finding those 2D shapes (like squares, circles, and triangles) on the faces of 3D objects (like cubes, spheres, and pyramids). It's like going on a shape scavenger hunt! We'll explore how a 3D object's faces are made up of 2D shapes. For example, a cube has faces that are all squares, and a cone has a circular face.
Think of it this way: if you flattened out a 3D object, what 2D shapes would you get? This will help you connect the dots between 2D and 3D shapes. It's all about seeing the world in shapes!
Match the term with its definition:
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| 1. Cube | A. A 2D shape with three sides and three angles. |
| 2. Circle | B. A 3D object with six square faces. |
| 3. Triangle | C. A 3D object with a circular base and a point at the top. |
| 4. Cone | D. A round 2D shape where all points on the edge are the same distance from the center. |
| 5. Square | E. A 2D shape with four equal sides and four right angles. |
A ______ is a 3D shape with six square faces. A ______ has a circular face. A ______ is a flat, 2D shape with three sides. A sphere is a 3D shape that looks like a ______. A ______ has faces that are rectangles.
Look around your classroom or home. Find three 3D objects and describe the 2D shapes you see on their faces. Explain how the 2D shapes make up the 3D object.
