Edges, vertices, and facesConceptual concept
Check understanding
- Count the edges, vertices, and faces of common 3-D shapes
- Use the terms edge, vertex (vertices), and face correctly
- Describe a 3-D shape by its properties (e.g. a cube has 6 faces, 12 edges, 8 vertices)
“Can your child count the faces, edges, and vertices of a 3-D shape like a cube or triangular prism?”
