This easy-level worksheet introduces second graders to the basic difference between flat 2D shapes and solid 3D shapes. Part A asks students to sort six items including square, cube, triangle, sphere, rectangle, and cylinder into Flat Shape and Solid Shape categories. Part B has five fill-in-the-blank questions about counting sides and vertices on common shapes. Part C finishes with four true or false statements about cubes, circles, and triangles.
