Vocabulary
Faces- flat surface.
Edges- straight line where two faces meet.
Vertices- corner points, where edges meet.
Take time to explore the 3D shapes. Tell a friend what you notice about
each shape. (You could also do a shape walk, like we did with 2D shapes.)

Mystery Bags
Place some 3D shapes inside some bags. You (and/or some students) can feel
the shape in the back without looking. They will give clues using the shape’s
attributes: faces, edges, and vertices.
The class can make inferences about what the 3D shape could be, after 3 or more
inferences, the person will reveal the shape to the class.
