Answer Key & Explanations

2D vs 3D Shapes · Grade 1 · Worksheet 3

  1. Emma is sorting her toys into two groups: flat shapes and solid shapes. She has a picture of a triangle, a real ball, a drawing of a square, and a toy block. Which of these is a solid shape? Answer: C. Ball Solution: A triangle is a flat shape with 3 sides. A ball is a sphere, which is a solid shape you can hold. A square is a flat shape with 4 equal sides.
    Full step-by-step solution

    Step 1: A triangle is a flat shape with 3 sides. Step 2: A ball is a sphere, which is a solid shape you can hold. Step 3: A square is a flat shape with 4 equal sides. Step 4: A drawing of a square is also a flat shape. The ball is the only solid shape, so the correct answer is Ball.

  2. Sophia sees a dice on the table. The dice is a small block that she can pick up and roll. Is the dice a 2D shape or a 3D shape? Answer: 3D shape Solution: A 2D shape is flat, like a square drawn on a piece of paper. You cannot pick it up. Step 2: A 3D shape is solid and takes up space.
    Full step-by-step solution

    Step 1: A 2D shape is flat, like a square drawn on a piece of paper. You cannot pick it up. Step 2: A 3D shape is solid and takes up space. You can hold it, turn it around, and see it from all sides. Step 3: Sophia's dice is a real block that she can pick up and roll. It is not flat. Therefore, the dice is a 3D shape. The correct answer is 3D shape.

  3. Liam is building a toy house using different shaped blocks. He needs a block that has 6 flat faces, all shaped like squares. Which shape should Liam use for his building? Answer: B. Cube Solution: A cylinder has 2 flat circular faces and 1 curved surface A sphere has 0 flat faces - it's completely round A cube has 6 flat faces, and all of them are squares A cone has 1 flat circular face and 1 curved surface Since Liam needs a shape with 6 flat square faces, the cube is the correct choice.
    Full step-by-step solution

    Step 1: A cylinder has 2 flat circular faces and 1 curved surface Step 2: A sphere has 0 flat faces - it's completely round Step 3: A cube has 6 flat faces, and all of them are squares Step 4: A cone has 1 flat circular face and 1 curved surface Since Liam needs a shape with 6 flat square faces, the cube is the correct choice. The correct answer is Cube.

  4. Which shape is flat and has 4 equal sides? Answer: B. Square Solution: A cube is a 3D shape, not a flat one. A square is a flat, 2D shape with 4 sides that are all equal. A sphere is a round 3D shape with no flat sides.
    Full step-by-step solution

    Step 1: A cube is a 3D shape, not a flat one. Step 2: A square is a flat, 2D shape with 4 sides that are all equal. Step 3: A sphere is a round 3D shape with no flat sides. Step 4: A pyramid is a 3D shape with a square base and triangular sides. The correct answer is Square, a square.

  5. Which shape is flat and has 4 sides? Answer: C. Square Solution: A cube is a 3D shape with 6 faces. A square is a flat, 2D shape with 4 equal sides. A sphere is a round 3D shape with no flat sides.
    Full step-by-step solution

    Step 1: A cube is a 3D shape with 6 faces. Step 2: A square is a flat, 2D shape with 4 equal sides. Step 3: A sphere is a round 3D shape with no flat sides. Step 4: A pyramid is a 3D shape with a square base and triangular sides. The correct answer is Square.
