Counting Vertices on 3D Shapes

counting vertices on 3d shapes
Description

By the end of this unit, children will be able to:

  1. Recognize and name common 3D shapes (e.g., cube, sphere, cylinder, cone).
  2. Count and identify the number of vertices (corners) in various 3D shapes.
  3. Differentiate between shapes based on the count of their vertices.
  4. Group and classify shapes based on the number of vertices.
  5. Identify shapes with specific numbers of vertices (e.g., cubes have 8 vertices).
  6. Solve real-life problems involving counting vertices on 3D shapes.
