Let’s think about what the worksheet is asking.
The title says: “I can build 3D SHAPES”
It tells you to use toothpicks and playdough to create 3D shapes.
There are two example drawings: a cube and a pyramid.
Underneath, there’s a table with columns for “Faces”, and someone wrote “6” under it — which matches the cube (a cube has 6 faces).
But wait — the student named Owen hasn’t filled in anything else yet. The task isn’t really a math problem with numbers to solve — it’s a hands-on activity! You’re supposed to *build* the shapes using the materials shown (toothpicks + playdough balls), then count things like faces, edges, or vertices and write them down on the sheet.
Since no specific question was asked (like “How many faces does a pyramid have?”), and since this is an activity-based worksheet, the real “answer” is completing the building and recording your observations.
However, if we look at the partially filled table — it shows “Faces” and the number “6” — that likely refers to the cube drawn next to the instructions. So maybe the first task is to recognize that the cube has 6 faces.
Let’s double-check:
- A cube has 6 flat surfaces → those are called faces.
- Yes, that’s correct.
If the worksheet expects you to fill in how many faces the cube has, then 6 is right.
But also notice — there’s another shape drawn: a square pyramid (like the Egyptian pyramids). How many faces does THAT have?
Let’s count:
- Base = 1 face (square)
- Sides = 4 triangular faces
→ Total = 5 faces
So if the worksheet wants you to record both, you’d put:
Cube → 6 faces
Pyramid → 5 faces
But again — since Owen only wrote “6” under “Faces”, and didn’t specify which shape, perhaps he was just starting with the cube.
Given all this, and since no explicit question was given beyond the activity prompt, the most accurate response based on what’s visible is:
Final Answer:
6
