Identifying 2D Shapes as the Faces of 3D Shapes WORKSHEET
Identifying 2D Shapes as the Faces of 3D Shapes WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION
Learners will identify 2-D shapes on the surface of 3-D shapes throughout this worksheet and use properties of shapes to guess shapes based on simple clues.
In Section A four 3D shapes are drawn alongside three 2D shapes, pupils will decide which of the given 2D shapes they can see on the surface of the 3D shapes.
Next, learners will name the 2D shape that is a highlighted side of a 3D shape. There are 6 questions to answer here.
Lastly, students play a game of guess who! Here they will use clues such as âI have 2 faces that are circles, what shape am I?â to name 3D shapes before being asked to write clues to describe a cone and a cuboid.
All worksheets are created by the team of experienced teachers at Cazoom Maths.

Frequently Asked Questions
Your child will develop their understanding of how 2-D shapes form the faces of 3-D shapes, which is a key skill in properties of shapes. They'll practise spotting familiar flat shapes like circles, triangles and squares on the surfaces of solid objects, helping them make important connections between different types of geometry.
