Let’s go step by step to identify each shape using the Word Bank.
We have two types of shapes:
-
2-D shapes (flat, like drawings on paper)
-
3-D shapes (solid, like real objects you can hold)
The Word Bank gives us these options:
circle, cone, cube, cylinder, rectangular prism, sphere, square, triangle
---
Now let’s look at each shape one by one:
Row 1:
1. First shape → It’s a die (like from a board game). All sides are squares, and it’s solid → That’s a
cube
2. Second shape → Flat, four sides, opposite sides equal → That’s a
rectangle
3. Third shape → Round, flat, no corners → That’s a
circle
4. Fourth shape → Looks like a gift box — has length, width, height, all faces are rectangles → That’s a
rectangular prism
Row 2:
5. Fifth shape → Three-sided flat shape → That’s a
triangle
6. Sixth shape → Solid with six square faces → Again, that’s a
cube (same as first one)
7. Seventh shape → Round ball, looks like a basketball or globe → That’s a
sphere
8. Eighth shape → Ice cream cone shape → Pointy bottom, round top → That’s a
cone
Row 3:
9. Ninth shape → Box-shaped, but not all sides are squares — longer in one direction → That’s a
rectangular prism
10. Tenth shape → Party hat shape → Same as ice cream cone → That’s a
cone
11. Eleventh shape → Four equal sides, flat → That’s a
square
12. Twelfth shape → Can shape — round top and bottom, straight sides → That’s a
cylinder
Row 4:
13. Thirteenth shape → Small box with a square front → Still a
cube (even if small)
14. Fourteenth shape → Soda can → Round top/bottom, tall → That’s a
cylinder
15. Fifteenth shape → Pointy top, round base → That’s a
cone
16. Sixteenth shape → Beach ball → Round, solid → That’s a
sphere
Wait — let’s double-check for duplicates and make sure we’re matching correctly.
Actually, looking again:
In Row 1, #1 is a cube → correct
Row 2, #6 is also a cube → yes, same shape
Row 4, #13 is also a cube → still correct
But wait — in the Word Bank, “cube” appears only once, but we can use words more than once? The instructions say “write the name of each shape below” — so we just pick the right word from the bank for each picture. We don’t have to use each word only once.
So let’s list them in order:
1. Cube
2. Rectangle
3. Circle
4. Rectangular prism
5. Triangle
6. Cube
7. Sphere
8. Cone
9. Rectangular prism
10. Cone
11. Square
12. Cylinder
13. Cube
14. Cylinder
15. Cone
16. Sphere
That matches all 16 shapes.
Final Answer:
1. cube
2. rectangle
3. circle
4. rectangular prism
5. triangle
6. cube
7. sphere
8. cone
9. rectangular prism
10. cone
11. square
12. cylinder
13. cube
14. cylinder
15. cone
16. sphere
