    What are 3D shapes?

    3D shapes are shapes with three dimensions, such


    as width, height and depth. An example of a 3D
    shape is a prism or a sphere. 3D shapes are
    multidimensional and can be physically held.

    What are the properties of 3D


    shapes?
    The properties of 3D shapes are their faces, edges
    and vertices which all have specific meanings in
    the context of primary school maths lessons.
    What is a face?
    A face is a flat surface to a 3D object. For example a
    square based prism has 5 faces. A sphere has 1 curved
    surface but no face.

    What is an edge?
    An edge is where two line segments or faces meet. A cylinder
    has 2 edges.

    What are vertices?


    Vertices are where two lines or edges meet; in maths we refer to
    the corners of 3D shapes as vertices. The singular of vertices is
    actually vertex which can be a bit confusing. A cone has one
    vertex, and a cube has 4 vertices.
