Edges, Vertices, and Faces of 3D shapes

Today we will continue learning about 3D shapes.  3D shapes have special characteristics that make up the shape.  They have a certain number of edges, vertices (or corners), or faces.  Here is a video that explains where the edges, vertices, and faces are on 3D shapes.


This next video shows us how to count each of those on the 3D shapes.


Now that you know what edges, vertices, and faces are on a 3D shape, can you use your 3D shapes and fill in the blanks to describe what each shape has?  For example, a cube is made up of squares, and has 6 faces, 12 edges, and 8 vertices.  You can use this worksheet or copy this onto a lined piece of paper.
