Geometry-
3 Dimensional Shapes
Solid Figures
Objective: Identify the attributes and
names of solid figures
G.I.A.3 Identify and describe attributes of three-dimensional shapes
including prisms, pyramids, spheres, cones, and cylinders using appropriate
vocabulary.
G.I.B.1 Classify three-dimensional shapes according to their attributes.
What are solid figures?
• Solid Figures are 3D.
• Solid Figures can have:
Faces
Edges
Vertices
Face
• A face is the flat surface of a solid
figure.
• Choose a shape that has a face.
How many faces does your shape
have?
Bonus: Does a sphere have any faces?
Edges
• An edge is formed when two faces
meet. An edge is a straight line
segment.
• Choose a shape that has an edge.
How many edges does your shape
have?
Does a cone have an edge?
Vertices
• A vertex is a point where edges
meet.
• Choose a shape that has a vertex.
How many vertices does your shape
have?
• Does a cylinder
have a vertex?
