Naming 3D solids and their properties
MA29-01
This lesson is coming soon.
In this lesson
Name a cube, cuboid, prism, cylinder, pyramid, cone and sphere from a picture, count its faces, edges and vertices, and tell a net, a plan and an elevation of the same solid apart.
What it covers
- Naming the seven standard solids (cube, cuboid, prism, cylinder, pyramid, cone, sphere)
- Vocabulary: face, surface, edge, vertex
- Counting faces/edges/vertices for a given solid
- Recognising, side by side on the same solid, which diagram is a net, which is a plan and which is an elevation (definitions and spotting, not construction)
Key words
For: OCR GCSE J560, Edexcel IGCSE 4MA1, Cambridge IGCSE 0580, AQA GCSE 8300, Edexcel GCSE 1MA1, Eduqas GCSE C300

For teachers
This GCSE Maths lesson teaches naming 3D solids and their properties. By the end, students should be able to name a cube, cuboid, prism, cylinder, pyramid, cone and sphere from a picture, count its faces, edges and vertices, and tell a net, a plan and an elevation of the same solid apart. It works through two worked examples and the mistakes examiners report.
