About these worksheets
Students explore the attributes and properties of both 2D and 3D shapes. Activities include counting faces, edges, and vertices of 3D shapes, determining whether given measurements can form a triangle, identifying cross-sections of sliced 3D shapes, drawing different perspectives of solids, classifying shapes by properties, evaluating true-or-false statements about shapes, and filling in attribute tables. Resources span fifth through seventh grade.
Identifying Triangle Angles and Lengths
- Decide whether three given side lengths can actually make a triangle.
- Decide whether three given angle measures can form a triangle.
- Use the triangle inequality rule to compare side lengths and check if a triangle is possible.
- Use the fact that a triangle’s angles add up to 180° to check if a triangle is possible.
Slicing 3d Shapes
- Figure out what 2d shape you get when a 3d solid is sliced.
- Tell the difference between slices that make circles, triangles, rectangles, and other polygons.
- Use clues from the direction of the cut (straight across, angled, or through the middle) to predict the cross-section.
Using Perspectives
- Picture what a 3D solid would look like when you look at it from the front, side, or top.
- Match a 3D shape to the correct 2D view of its faces and edges.
- Use clues like which parts are visible or hidden to choose the right perspective.
- Mentally rotate a solid to see how its view changes without moving the paper.
Classifying Shapes
- Identify and name common shapes by looking at their sides, corners, and angles.
- Sort shapes into groups based on shared properties, like how many sides they have or whether sides are parallel.
- Tell the difference between types of quadrilaterals (square, rectangle, rhombus, trapezoid, kite) by checking their features.
Classifying Shapes True or False
- Decide whether a statement about a shape is true or false by looking at its sides, angles, and vertices.
Classifying Shapes (Multiple Choice)
- Use clues about sides, angles, and corners to name the shape being described.
- Tell the difference between common quadrilaterals like rectangles, squares, rhombuses, trapezoids, and kites.
- Sort shapes into the right groups using rules like parallel sides, equal sides, and right angles.
