About 3D Shapes
Understanding 3D shapes connects classroom math to the physical world, building spatial awareness and geometric vocabulary.
What Your Child Will Learn
- Identify 3D shapes like cubes, spheres, cones, and cylinders
- Describe attributes: faces, edges, rolling, stacking
- Connect 3D shapes to real-world objects
Worksheets by Difficulty
Start with Easy worksheets to build confidence, then progress to Medium and Hard as your student masters each level.
Tips for Parents & Teachers
Point out shapes in architecture, nature, and everyday objects. "The window is a rectangle. The stop sign is an octagon."
Compare 2D and 3D: "A square is flat, but a box is like a square that has depth — it is called a cube."
Build with blocks and describe what you build using shape vocabulary.
For shape patterns, have your child create their own patterns with stickers or stamps — creating patterns is harder and more valuable than just reading them.
