Key Topics to Revise
1
1. Introduction to 3D Shapes
- Solids are 3D shapes that occupy space and have length, breadth, and height.
- Unlike 2D shapes (like squares or rectangles), 3D shapes have thickness.
- Examples: Book (cuboid), Dice (cube), Ball (sphere), Ice cream cone (cone), Tin can (cylinder).

2. Faces, Edges, and Vertices of Solids
- Faces: Flat or curved surfaces of a solid.
- Edges: Line segments where two faces meet.
- Vertices (Corners): Points where edges meet.
3
3. Types of 3D Shapes and Their Properties
- Cube: 6 square faces, 12 edges, 8 vertices. All sides equal.
- Cuboid: 6 rectangular faces, 12 edges, 8 vertices. Sides may differ.
- Cylinder: 2 circular faces, 1 curved face, 2 edges, 0 vertices.

4. Nets of 3D Shapes
- A net is a 2D pattern that can be folded to form a 3D solid.
- Different nets can form the same solid.
- Nets must have the correct number and arrangement of faces.
