Let's solve this Grade 2 Maths worksheet on 2D & 3D Shapes step by step.

---

🔷 Part 1: Fill in the name, number of faces, edges, and vertices for each shape.



We’ll go through each shape one by one.

---

#### 1. Cone
- Name: Cone
- Faces: 2 (1 curved surface + 1 flat circular base)
- Edges: 1 (the circular edge where the base meets the curved surface)
- Vertices: 1 (the tip or apex)

> 💡 Note: In 3D geometry, a vertex is a corner point. The cone has only one vertex at the tip.

---

#### 2. Circle (2D Shape)
- Name: Circle
- Faces: 1 (a flat 2D shape has 1 face)
- Edges: 0 (a circle has no straight edges — it's curved)
- Vertices: 0 (no corners)

> 💡 A circle is a 2D shape with no sides or angles.

---

#### 3. Cube
- Name: Cube
- Faces: 6 (all squares)
- Edges: 12 (each edge connects two faces)
- Vertices: 8 (corners where 3 edges meet)

> Standard properties of a cube.

---

#### 4. Cylinder
- Name: Cylinder
- Faces: 3 (2 flat circular bases + 1 curved surface)
- Edges: 2 (the circular edges of the top and bottom)
- Vertices: 0 (no sharp corners — smooth curves)

> 💡 Although it has 2 circular edges, it doesn’t have any vertices because there are no corners.

---

#### 5. Cuboid (Rectangular Prism)
- Name: Cuboid
- Faces: 6 (rectangular faces)
- Edges: 12
- Vertices: 8

> Same as a cube but with rectangular faces instead of square ones.

---

#### 6. Square Pyramid
- Name: Square Pyramid
- Faces: 5 (1 square base + 4 triangular faces)
- Edges: 8 (4 edges on the base + 4 edges from base to apex)
- Vertices: 5 (4 at the base + 1 at the top)

> This is a pyramid with a square base.

---

🟦 Part 2: Write the names of things you can find with these shapes.



Now we look at common real-life objects that match the given 2D shapes.

---

#### 🔹 Hexagon
- Examples:
- Honeycomb
- Soccer ball (some panels)
- Nut or bolt head
- Stop sign (not hexagon — wait, actually stop sign is octagon!)
→ So better examples:
- Some tiles
- Clocks (some designs)
- Table tops

Answers:
- Honeycomb
- Bolt head
- Some floor tiles
- Some clocks

---

#### 🔹 Triangle
- Examples:
- Slice of pizza
- Traffic signs (yield sign)
- Roof of a house
- Tent
- Sandwich

Answers:
- Pizza slice
- Traffic sign
- Roof
- Tent
- Sandwich

---

#### 🔹 Square
- Examples:
- Book cover
- Tile
- Window pane
- Dice face
- Chessboard square

Answers:
- Book
- Tile
- Window
- Dice
- Picture frame

Part 1: 3D Shapes



| Shape | Name | Faces | Edges | Vertices |
|-------------|-------------|-------|-------|----------|
| 1 | Cone | 2 | 1 | 1 |
| 2 | Circle | 1 | 0 | 0 |
| 3 | Cube | 6 | 12 | 8 |
| 4 | Cylinder | 3 | 2 | 0 |
| 5 | Cuboid | 6 | 12 | 8 |
| 6 | Square Pyramid | 5 | 8 | 5 |

---

Part 2: Real-Life Objects



| Shape | Examples (any 4) |
|-----------|--------------------------------------------------------|
| Hexagon | Honeycomb, bolt head, tile, clock |
| Triangle | Pizza slice, traffic sign, roof, tent |
| Square | Book, tile, window, dice, picture frame |

---

Tips for Students:


- Face: Flat surface of a 3D shape.
- Edge: Where two faces meet (line segment).
- Vertex (plural: vertices): Corner point where edges meet.
- 2D shapes have faces, edges, and vertices too, but they’re simpler.
