Teach children some basic geometry with these free 3D shape worksheets!

Download these free 3D shape worksheets!

Today I’m sharing two worksheets to help kids explore 3D shapes. Let’s dive in!

3D Shape Worksheets

Download these free 3D shape worksheets!

The first worksheet asks kids to count faces, edges, and vertices on each shape.

First, let’s look at some definitions.

face – any of the flat surfaces of a solid object

edge – a line segment where two faces meet

vertex – a point where two or more lines meet

I strongly recommend having 3D shape manipulatives so your students can study them as they work. If you buy two of this set, you should have enough for 20 students. If you’re working with an individual student, you could buy the foam shapes that we used.

Let’s take a rectangular prism.

You can see that it has 6 faces. Each is shaped like a rectangle. It also has 12 edges and 8 vertices.

We examined each shape. I helped my Six count the faces, edges, and vertices.

He recorded them on the worksheet.

For the second worksheet, we examined whether the shapes could roll, stack or slide.

He colored the happy or sad face after he experimented with each figure.

Some were a little tricky, so he added some notes on his worksheet. For example, the bottom of the cone stacks, but not the top. The same is true of the pyramid.

We hope you enjoy this fun freebie!

      Hello! Shapes can slide if they can move on their base without turning or rolling. So all shapes can slide EXCEPT the sphere.

    I really appreciate and trust your free printables – thank you so much! I am a great grandmother looking after (guardian to) her 5 year old great grandson. He has been diagnosed with O.D.D. and Severe Anxiety so has a hard time in Kindergarten. Printing your resources has helped me to explain and guide him through the items he has problems understanding in the school setting when being inundated with too many sensory situations that cause him to shut down. I am hoping with a loving and quiet environment at home that he will, with the additional knowledge you and I are providing him, start to make larger strides in his school work and not feel the pressure so much. I have many years to look forward to getting your assistance for this bright, loving boy. Thanks again

    I have been so excited about your teaching resources!! I am a tutor for Tier 2 and 3 students at my school and have had some difficulty finding adequate resources to use with all the different academic levels and learning styles for the kids and your website has helped me our tremendously!! As you know teachers don’t make a whole lot of income so I am so appreciative that your printables are free to use and are so effective in teaching my students. Thanks so much for all that you do!!

    […] If this activity is too difficult, it might be best to back up. Grab a set of 3D shapes and use our 3D shape worksheets. […]
