Teacher's Notes

3D Shapes Summary:

Shape	Faces	Edges	Vertices	Can Roll?	Can Slide?
Cube	6	12	8	No	Yes
Cuboid	6	12	8	No	Yes
Cylinder	2 flat + 1 curved	2	0	Yes	Yes
Cone	1 flat + 1 curved	1	1	Yes	Yes
Sphere	1 curved	0	0	Yes	No

Common Errors:

• Confusing faces with edges
• Thinking sphere has 1 face (it's curved, not flat)
• Confusing cylinder and cone properties
