Let’s go through each 3D shape one by one. We’ll count how many flat surfaces (faces) each has, and then name the shape.
---
Top Row:
1.
First shape – looks like a ball
- It has no flat sides — it’s all curved.
- Number of faces:
0
- Name:
Sphere
2.
Second shape – looks like a can
- It has 2 flat circular ends + 1 curved side (but we only count flat faces in basic geometry for this level).
- Actually, in elementary math, cylinders are said to have
2 faces (the top and bottom circles). The curved part is not counted as a “face” because it’s not flat.
- Number of faces:
2
- Name:
Cylinder
3.
Third shape – looks like a soccer ball piece or a gem
- This is made of flat pentagons and hexagons — it’s a polyhedron.
- Counting carefully: it has 12 faces (each pentagon/hexagon is a face).
- But wait — actually, looking at the drawing, it’s a
dodecahedron? No — let’s recount from the image.
→ Actually, this shape is a
truncated octahedron? Hmm — too advanced.
→ Let’s look again: it’s drawn with 8 visible faces? Wait — better approach: this is likely meant to be a
regular dodecahedron, but that’s complex.
→ Actually, in most school worksheets, this shape is called a
“polyhedron” or sometimes specifically a
“dodecahedron”, but let’s check standard shapes.
Wait — I think I’m overcomplicating. Let me re-express based on common school curriculum:
Actually, looking at the third shape — it’s a
rhombicuboctahedron? No — too hard.
Hold on — perhaps it’s simpler. In many primary worksheets, this shape is just labeled as having
12 faces and called a
dodecahedron. But let’s verify by counting the visible ones — there are about 7–8 shown, but total should be 12.
But maybe it’s not — let’s try another way.
Actually — I recall now: this shape is often used to represent a
soccer ball pattern, which is a truncated icosahedron — 32 faces! Too much.
Wait — perhaps the worksheet expects us to recognize it as a
polyhedron with 12 faces — so let’s go with:
→ Number of faces:
12
→ Name:
Dodecahedron
BUT — let’s double-check with real knowledge: A regular dodecahedron has 12 pentagonal faces. Yes. So if this is drawn with pentagons, it’s a dodecahedron.
Looking at the image — yes, those are pentagons. So:
✔ Faces: 12
✔ Name: Dodecahedron
4.
Fourth shape – pyramid with square base
- Base = 1 face
- 4 triangular sides = 4 faces
- Total = 5 faces
- Name:
Square Pyramid
5.
Fifth shape – box-like, rectangular
- Has 6 flat faces (front, back, left, right, top, bottom)
- Name:
Rectangular Prism (or Cuboid)
---
Bottom Row:
6.
Sixth shape – ice cream cone shape
- One flat circle at the bottom
- Curved side — not counted as a face
- So only 1 face
- Name:
Cone
7.
Seventh shape – slanted box, like a wedge
- This is a
triangular prism
- Two triangular bases + three rectangular sides = 5 faces
- Name:
Triangular Prism
8.
Eighth shape – cube
- All sides equal squares
- 6 faces
- Name:
Cube
9.
Ninth shape – two pyramids stuck together at base
- Looks like an octahedron
- 8 triangular faces
- Name:
Octahedron
10.
Tenth shape – half a sphere, like a dome
- Flat circular base + curved top
- Only 1 flat face (the base)
- Name:
Hemisphere

Now let’s compile the answers clearly:
