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.

How to wash your hands

Let's review procedural writing!  What better procedure to write than one on how to wash your hands!  It is very important during this time to wash our hands often, especially after you go outside or before eating.  Below is the Learning Goal and Success Criteria for writing procedures.

Learning Goal:  To teach someone how to do something by giving step-by-step instructions.

Success Criteria:
- I have a title for my procedure (e.g., How to....)
- I have listed all the materials needed for my procedure
- I have the numbers for each step.
- I give detailed instruction on how to do something.
- I use words such as first, next, then, last
- I check my work to make sure that it makes sense and that I have included capitals and periods.
- I have included pictures for each step.

You can use this template when writing your procedure, but feel free to use a lined paper.

3D shapes and their nets

Yesterday we reviewed our 3D shapes and you found some examples in your house!  Shapes are everywhere!  Before the break, we also talked about how 2D shapes make up 3D shapes.  We made our own 3D shapes out of 2D nets.  For example, a cube is made out of squares.

Please name each 3D shape below and match it to their net.  After, you may choose to make your own 3D shapes so that you have them to work with throughout this math unit.  You can CLICK HERE for the nets of some 3D shapes.  You will need a printer, paper, scissors, and tape.

Review of 3D Shapes

Before you went on March Break, we were learning about 3D shapes in Math.  Here is a song for you to review some 3D shapes and some examples of each.


We did a 3D shape scavenger hunt at school.  Now it's your turn to do a scavenger hunt at HOME!  Please take a picture of something in your house that is a SPHERE, CONE, CYLINDER, CUBE, RECTANGULAR PRISM, and a PYRAMID.  You can send the pictures to my email.  If you don't have a camera,  you can draw them out on a piece of paper like this:
