Let’s go step by step to solve this problem.
We are asked to tick (check) the correct shapes in each row based on what the instruction says.
---
First Row: “Tick all the spheres.”
What is a sphere?
→ A sphere is a round 3D shape, like a ball. It looks the same from every side and has no flat faces or edges.
Look at the four shapes:
1. Blue shiny ball → That’s a sphere
✔
2. Purple square → That’s a flat 2D shape, not a sphere
✘
3. Orange shiny ball → Also a sphere
✔
4. Pink hexagon → Flat 2D shape, not a sphere
✘
So we tick boxes 1 and 3.

Second Row: “Tick all the cylinders.”
What is a cylinder?
→ A cylinder is a 3D shape with two flat circular ends and one curved side — like a can of soup or a toilet paper roll.
Look at the four shapes:
1. Yellow star → Flat 2D shape
✘
2. Blue upright can → That’s a cylinder
✔
3. Teal lying-down tube → Also a cylinder (just turned sideways)
✔
4. Orange circle → Flat 2D shape
✘
So we tick boxes 2 and 3.
---
Third Row: “Tick all the cones and cubes.”
What is a cone?
→ A cone is a 3D shape with a circular base and a pointy top — like an ice cream cone.
What is a cube?
→ A cube is a 3D box with 6 equal square faces — like a dice.
Look at the four shapes:
1. Green party hat shape → That’s a cone
✔
2. Blue box → That’s a cube
✔
3. Light green hexagon → Flat 2D shape
✘
4. Red party hat shape → Also a cone
✔
So we tick boxes 1, 2, and 4.

Final Answer:
Row 1 (spheres): Tick box 1 and box 3
Row 2 (cylinders): Tick box 2 and box 3
Row 3 (cones and cubes): Tick box 1, box 2, and box 4
