2-D faces on 3-D shapes

Identify 2-D shapes on the surface of 3-D shapes (e.g. a circle on a cylinder, a triangle on a pyramid)

Typical age: 6–7 years

“Can your child look at a 3-D shape and name the 2-D shapes on its faces — for example, saying a cylinder has circles on the ends and a rectangle wrapped round the side?”
