What to Focus On
- Solids are 3D shapes with length, breadth, and height.
- Common 3D shapes: cube, cuboid, cylinder, sphere, cone, prism, pyramid.
- Solids have three views: top, front, and side.
- Face: flat surface
- Edge: line where two faces meet
- Vertex: corner where edges meet
- A net is a 2D pattern that folds into a 3D shape.
- A cube has 11 possible nets.
- Nets must have the correct number and shape of faces.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
A cube and a cuboid are completely different shapes.
A cylinder has 3 edges because it has 3 faces.
A cone has no edges because it's pointed.
Memory Tips
