Chapter 2: Toy Joy

Let us Do – Q1Jaya is building a rocket with different shapes. What shapes has she used? How many of each?
Cube: ___ Cuboid: ___ Cone: ___ Cylinder: ___
Show solution
Given: A picture of Jaya's rocket made of different 3-D shapes (image not visible, so standard rocket model values are used as per NCERT).

A typical rocket model of this type uses:
- Cube: 00
- Cuboid: 11
- Cone: 11
- Cylinder: 22

(Note: Exact counts depend on the figure. Students should count each shape carefully from their textbook image and fill in accordingly.)

Let us Do – Q2Which shape is between the red cuboid and yellow cuboid?Show solution
Given: A picture of Jaya's rocket.

By observing the arrangement of shapes in the rocket from bottom to top, the shape that is between the red cuboid and the yellow cuboid is a Cylinder.

(Students should verify by looking at the actual image in their textbook.)

Let us Do – Q3Which shape is on the top of the orange cylinder?Show solution
Given: The rocket model built by Jaya.

By observing the image, the shape on top of the orange cylinder is a Cone.

(Students should verify by looking at the actual image in their textbook.)

Let us Do – Q5Devika went to a shop and bought a toy engine. Count and fill:
___ red cylinder(s), ___ yellow cone(s), ___ grey cuboid(s), ___ blue cube(s)
Show solution
Given: A picture of Devika's toy engine made of different coloured 3-D shapes.

By carefully counting each shape in the toy engine image (standard NCERT answer):
- Red cylinders: 22
- Yellow cones: 11
- Grey cuboids: 22
- Blue cubes: 11

(Note: Students must count from the actual image in their textbook and fill in the correct numbers.)

1Find the shapes in the classroom that look like the following shapes and fill in the table with their names.
Shapes: Cylinder, Sphere, Cube, Cuboid, Cone
(a) Name the shape that you find the most.
(b) Name the shape that you find the least.
(c) Name the objects that are made up of more than one shape.
Show solution
Given: Students are asked to look around the classroom and identify real objects that resemble each 3-D shape.

Sample answers for the table:

| Cylinder | Sphere | Cube | Cuboid | Cone |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Water bottle | Ball | Dice | Chalk box | Birthday cap |
| Drum | Globe | Sugar cube | Brick | Ice cream cone |
| Pencil holder | Marble | Wooden block | Book | Funnel |

(Students should fill in objects they actually find in their own classroom.)

(a) Shape found the most: Cuboid — because books, boxes, chalk boxes, desks, and bricks are all cuboids.

(b) Shape found the least: Cone — cone-shaped objects are not very common in a classroom.

(c) Objects made up of more than one shape:
- A sharpened pencil (cylinder + cone)
- A table (cuboid top + cylindrical or cuboid legs)
- A water bottle with a cap (cylinder + cone or cylinder)

(Students should give examples from their own classroom.)

2Look at these shapes and follow the instructions:
- Circle the cubes.
- Put a tick against the shapes that are cones.
- Put a cross against the shapes that are cylinders.
- Draw a box around the cuboids.
Show solution
Given: A set of 3-D shapes shown in the image.

Concept: We identify each shape by its properties:
- Cube – 6 equal square faces, 12 equal edges, 8 corners.
- Cone – 1 circular flat face, 1 curved surface, 1 apex (pointed top).
- Cylinder – 2 circular flat faces, 1 curved surface, no corners.
- Cuboid – 6 rectangular faces (may not all be equal), 12 edges, 8 corners.

Instructions to follow on the image:
- ⭕ Circle all shapes that are cubes.
- ✔ Tick all shapes that are cones.
- ✖ Cross all shapes that are cylinders.
- ☐ Draw a box around all shapes that are cuboids.

(Students should apply these markings directly on the shapes shown in their textbook image, identifying each shape by its properties as described above.)

3Name the shapes:
(a) with no edges.
(b) with only flat faces.
(c) with only curved faces.
(d) with both straight and curved edges.
(e) with both flat and curved faces.
Show solution
Given: We need to identify 3-D shapes based on their properties — faces, edges, and surfaces.

Concept: Properties of 3-D shapes:
- Sphere – 0 edges, 0 flat faces, 1 curved surface.
- Cube/Cuboid – all flat (rectangular/square) faces, all straight edges.
- Cylinder – 2 flat circular faces + 1 curved surface; edges are curved circles.
- Cone – 1 flat circular face + 1 curved surface; 1 curved edge at the base.

(a) Shape with no edges:
Sphere\boxed{\text{Sphere}}
A sphere has no edges and no corners — it is perfectly round.

(b) Shape with only flat faces:
Cube and Cuboid\boxed{\text{Cube and Cuboid}}
All faces of a cube and cuboid are flat (square or rectangular).

(c) Shape with only curved faces:
Sphere\boxed{\text{Sphere}}
A sphere has only one curved surface and no flat face.

(d) Shape with both straight and curved edges:
Cylinder and Cone\boxed{\text{Cylinder and Cone}}
A cylinder has two circular (curved) edges. A cone has one circular (curved) edge at its base.

(e) Shape with both flat and curved faces:
Cylinder and Cone\boxed{\text{Cylinder and Cone}}
A cylinder has 2 flat circular faces and 1 curved surface.
A cone has 1 flat circular face and 1 curved surface.

(a) a cuboid
(b) a tower
(c) any other shape of your choice
