This challenging worksheet pushes second graders to count edges, faces, and vertices on tricky 3D shapes. Part A asks multiple-choice questions like how many edges a cube has (12), which solid has exactly 1 flat face (cone), and how many edges a triangular prism has (9). Part B adds fill-in-the-blank attribute work: a square pyramid has 4 triangular faces, a cube has 4 more edges than a square pyramid, and a triangular prism has 3 rectangular faces. Mastering these careful counts prepares students for the geometric reasoning and shape decomposition tasks that show up in third-grade math.
