Trace the cube and color all objects that are in the shape of a cube.

Let’s go step by step.

The instruction says:
“Trace out the dotted cube with a pencil. Then color all the objects that have the form of a cube.”

So we need to:
1. Trace the dotted cube (that’s just following the dashed lines — you’d do this on paper).
2. Look at each object and decide if it is shaped like a cube.
3. Color only those objects that are cubes.

What is a cube?
- A cube is a 3D shape with 6 flat square faces.
- All sides are equal.
- It looks like a box where every side is a perfect square.

Now let’s look at each object one by one:

Top row, left:
→ Dotted cube — this is already labeled as a cube. You trace it. But since it’s dotted, maybe it’s not meant to be colored? The instruction says “color all the objects that have the form of a cube” — so probably yes, even if dotted, if it’s a cube, color it. But wait — actually, looking again: the dotted cube is an example or template to trace. The real task is to color the *other* objects that are also cubes. Let me re-read:

“Trace out the dotted cube with a pencil. Then color all the objects that have the form of a cube.”

So tracing is separate. Coloring applies to ALL objects in the grid that are cubes — including possibly the dotted one? But typically in such worksheets, the dotted one is for tracing practice, and then you identify which of the other drawings are also cubes.

But let’s check each drawing carefully:

Grid layout (2 rows × 3 columns):

Row 1:
- Left: dotted cube → definitely a cube shape.
- Middle: ice cream cone → not a cube. Cone + scoop = no.
- Right: die (dice) → has dots, but shape is a cube! Yes.

Row 2:
- Left: basketball → sphere, not a cube.
- Middle: plain box → looks like a cube. All faces appear square. Yes.
- Right: Rubik’s cube → made of smaller cubes, but overall shape is a big cube. Yes.

So which ones are cubes?

✔ Dotted cube (top-left) — it’s a cube, even though dotted. Should we color it? The instruction doesn’t say “except the dotted one”. It says “trace the dotted cube... then color all the objects that have the form of a cube.” So logically, after tracing it, you should also color it if it’s a cube — which it is.

But sometimes in these worksheets, the dotted one is just for tracing and not part of the coloring set. However, the wording doesn’t exclude it. To be safe, let’s assume we color ALL cube-shaped objects shown, including the dotted one.

Wait — actually, looking at typical kindergarten/early elementary worksheets: usually, the dotted figure is for tracing practice, and then you find matching shapes among the solid-line figures. Also, note that the dotted cube is drawn with perspective lines — same as others — so it’s clearly intended to represent a cube.

But here’s the key: the instruction says “color all the objects that have the form of a cube.” That includes any object whose shape is a cube, regardless of whether it’s dotted or solid.

However, in many similar worksheets I’ve seen, the dotted item is not meant to be colored — it’s just for tracing. But since the problem doesn’t specify “excluding the dotted one”, and to follow instructions literally, we include it.

But let’s think practically: if a student traces the dotted cube, they’re practicing fine motor skills. Then they look at the other pictures and color the ones that match the shape. The dice, the plain box, and the Rubik’s cube are clearly cubes. The basketball and ice cream are not.

Is the dotted cube considered an “object to color”? Probably not — because it’s instructional (for tracing), not part of the selection set. In fact, often in such grids, the first item is a model, and the rest are options.

Looking at the image description again: there are 6 items total. The top-left is dotted cube. The instruction says “trace out the dotted cube” — implying that’s a separate action. Then “then color all the objects that have the form of a cube” — likely referring to the remaining five, or perhaps all six? Ambiguous.

But let’s use logic: if you trace the dotted cube, you’re done with it. Then you move to coloring the other objects that are also cubes. Otherwise, why would they make it dotted? Usually, dotted means “trace me”, and solid means “evaluate me”.

Moreover, in educational contexts, when they say “color all the objects that are X”, they mean the non-dotted, non-instructional items.

Also, notice: the bottom-right is a Rubik’s cube — which is composed of small cubes, but its outer shape is a cube — so it counts.

Similarly, the die is a cube.

The plain box in bottom-middle — assuming it’s drawn as a cube (equal sides), yes.

Basketball — no.

Ice cream — no.

Dotted cube — probably not to be colored, since it’s for tracing.

I think the safest interpretation based on standard worksheet design is:

- Trace the dotted cube (do not color it — it’s for practice).
- Among the other five objects, color those that are cubes.

So cubes to color:
- Top-right: die ✔
- Bottom-middle: plain box ✔
- Bottom-right: Rubik’s cube ✔

That’s three objects.

But wait — what about the dotted cube itself? If we interpret strictly, it is an object with the form of a cube. But given context, I believe it’s excluded from coloring.

To confirm: imagine a teacher saying, “First, trace this dotted cube. Now, look at the other pictures and color the ones that are also cubes.” That makes sense.

Therefore, final decision:

Color these three:
1. Die (top right)
2. Plain box (bottom middle)
3. Rubik’s cube (bottom right)

Do NOT color:
- Ice cream (not cube)
- Basketball (sphere)
- Dotted cube (for tracing only)

Final Answer:
Color the die, the plain box, and the Rubik’s cube.
