Vertices resources

Students drag and drop to sort 2-dimensional shapes into three categories based on the number of sides, curved sides, or corners the shape has.

For this NEMP task students calculate the amount of pipe length and the minimum number of corners needed to make a cube-shaped frame with 1 metre edges.

Students give the number of vertices, straight lines, and curved lines and complete sentences to describe different 2-dimensional shapes.

Students match descriptions of how many corners and sides 2-dimensional shapes have with their corresponding pictures and then describe one shape this way.

Students answer questions about the journey of an ant along the edge of a tetrahedron.

Students identify the number of faces, edges and vertices for different 3-dimensional shapes.

In this practical task, students use models of 3-dimensional shapes to complete a chart showing the number of faces, corners, and edges for each object.

This task requires students to identify the shape name, the number of faces, edges and vertices of a selection of everyday objects.

Without looking, and by feeling a range of 3-dimensional objects, students describe physical features of each object.

This task requires students to circle a corner, an edge, and a face on three different shapes. Students then count how many corners, edges, and faces each shape has altogether.
