Let's solve the problem step by step.
Task:
Match each 3D shape on the left to its correct name on the right.
---
Step 1: Identify each shape
We have five 3D shapes drawn on the left side:
1.
First shape (top): A box-like shape with six square faces, all equal in size → This is a
Cube.
2.
Second shape: A shape with two circular bases and a curved surface connecting them → This is a
Cylinder.
3.
Third shape: A perfectly round shape with no edges or corners → This is a
Sphere.
4.
Fourth shape: A shape with a circular base and a pointed top → This is a
Cone.
5.
Fifth shape (bottom): A box-like shape with rectangular faces, but not all sides are equal (longer than it is wide) → This is a
Rectangular prism.

Step 2: Match each shape to the correct name
Now let’s match them:
-
Cube → First shape (top)
-
Cylinder → Second shape
-
Sphere → Third shape
-
Cone → Fourth shape
-
Rectangular prism → Fifth shape (bottom)
---
Final Answer (Matching):
1.
✔ Cube → First shape
2.
✔ Cylinder → Second shape
3.
✔ Sphere → Third shape
4.
✔ Cone → Fourth shape
5.
✔ Rectangular prism → Fifth shape

Explanation:
-
Cube: All faces are squares; 6 faces, 8 vertices, 12 edges.
-
Cylinder: Two parallel circular bases connected by a curved surface.
-
Sphere: Completely round; every point on the surface is equidistant from the center.
-
Cone: One circular base and one vertex (point); tapers smoothly from base to point.
-
Rectangular prism: Six rectangular faces; opposite faces are equal; includes cubes as a special case.
This worksheet helps students recognize and name common 3D geometric shapes based on their visual properties.
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of shapes worksheet for grade.
