Introduction to 3D Shapes: Faces, Edges, Vertices
Students will identify and count faces, edges, and vertices of common 3D shapes.
Key Questions
- Differentiate between a 2D shape and a 3D solid.
- Explain how to systematically count the faces, edges, and vertices of a given polyhedron.
- Construct a net for a simple 3D shape like a cube or cuboid.

Planning templates for Mathematics
5E Model
The 5E Model structures lessons through five phases (Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, and Evaluate), guiding students from curiosity to deep understanding through inquiry-based learning.
unit plannerMath Unit
Plan a multi-week math unit with conceptual coherence: from building number sense and procedural fluency to applying skills in context and developing mathematical reasoning across a connected sequence of lessons.
rubricMath Rubric
Build a math rubric that assesses problem-solving, mathematical reasoning, and communication alongside procedural accuracy, giving students feedback on how they think, not just whether they got the right answer.
