Let’s solve this step by step.
We have two sections: Section A and Section B.
---
Section A: Match the name to the shape
We are given 8 shapes and a list of names. Let’s go one by one:
1.
First shape (blue cube) → It has 6 square faces, all equal. That’s a
Cube.
2.
Second shape (pink box) → It looks like a stretched cube — all faces are rectangles. That’s a
Rectangular Prism.
3.
Third shape (red ball) → Perfectly round, no edges or corners. That’s a
Sphere.
4.
Fourth shape (blue can) → Two flat circular ends and one curved side. That’s a
Cylinder.
5.
Fifth shape (orange cone) → One flat circle at the bottom, pointy top. That’s a
Cone.
6.
Sixth shape (purple pyramid with square base) → Base is a square, sides are triangles meeting at a point. That’s a
Square-based pyramid.
7.
Seventh shape (green pyramid with triangle base) → All faces are triangles. That’s a
Triangular-based pyramid.
8.
Eighth shape (yellow tent-like shape) → Two triangular ends and three rectangular sides. That’s a
Triangular prism.
So for Section A, matching each shape in order (left to right, top to bottom):
- Cube
- Rectangular Prism
- Sphere
- Cylinder
- Cone
- Square-based pyramid
- Triangular-based pyramid
- Triangular prism

Section B: Join descriptions to shape names
We need to match each shape name on the left with its correct description on the right.
Let’s go through each shape and find its matching description:
1.
Cone → Has one flat circular face. Rolls in a circle.
✔ (That matches “Has one flat circular face. Rolls in a circle.”)
2.
Cube → Has 6 flat faces. All of the faces are squares.
✔
3.
Triangular prism → Has two triangular faces and 3 faces that are rectangles.
✔
4.
Sphere → Already done for us! → “Has one curved face and can roll in any direction”
5.
Square-based pyramid → Has one square face, the others are triangles.
✔
6.
Rectangular Prism → Has 6 flat faces. All of them are rectangles.
✔
7.
Triangular-based pyramid → Has 4 flat faces. All of the faces are triangles.
✔
8.
Cylinder → Has two flat circular faces and one curved face. Will roll in a straight line.
✔
Now let’s write the matches clearly:
- Cone → Has one flat circular face. Rolls in a circle.
- Cube → Has 6 flat faces. All of the faces are squares.
- Triangular prism → Has two triangular faces and 3 faces that are rectangles.
- Sphere → Has one curved face and can roll in any direction. *(already matched)*
- Square-based pyramid → Has one square face, the others are triangles.
- Rectangular Prism → Has 6 flat faces. All of them are rectangles.
- Triangular-based pyramid → Has 4 flat faces. All of the faces are triangles.
- Cylinder → Has two flat circular faces and one curved face. Will roll in a straight line.

Final Answer:
Section A (Shape Names in Order):
1. Cube
2. Rectangular Prism
3. Sphere
4. Cylinder
5. Cone
6. Square-based pyramid
7. Triangular-based pyramid
8. Triangular prism
Section B (Matching Descriptions):
- Cone → Has one flat circular face. Rolls in a circle.
- Cube → Has 6 flat faces. All of the faces are squares.
- Triangular prism → Has two triangular faces and 3 faces that are rectangles.
- Sphere → Has one curved face and can roll in any direction.
- Square-based pyramid → Has one square face, the others are triangles.
- Rectangular Prism → Has 6 flat faces. All of them are rectangles.
- Triangular-based pyramid → Has 4 flat faces. All of the faces are triangles.
- Cylinder → Has two flat circular faces and one curved face. Will roll in a straight line.
