1. Look at the pictures and read the information about 3D shapes. 2. Answer the questions about the shapes. 3. Use modeling clay to make your own 3D shapes as instructed.

Teacher Notes (not visible to students)

This activity introduces students to basic 3D shapes and their properties such as faces, edges, and corners. Use the images to help students visualize the shapes. Encourage students to count the faces, edges, and corners on the rectangular prism. The hands-on modeling clay activity helps reinforce understanding by creating physical models of the shapes. Assess students' understanding through their answers and their clay models.
