What are 3D shapes?
3D shapes are all around us.
3D means 3 Dimensional.
2D means 2 Dimensional. Can
you think of any 2D shapes?
What is the different between 2D
shapes and 3D shapes?
3D shapes can stack.
3D shapes can roll.
3D shapes slide.
Let’s discover some 3D
shapes and their properties.

Today we:
➔ Discussed what 3D shapes are.
➔ Gave real life example of these
shapes.
➔ Determined whether these shapes
stack, roll or slide.
➔ Located the faces, edges and vertices
on these shapes.
