This medium worksheet focuses on naming polygons and counting vertices on 3D shapes. Part A fill-in-the-blank teaches that 5 sides makes a pentagon, 6 sides makes a hexagon, an octagon has 8 vertices, a rectangular prism has 8 vertices, a square pyramid has 5 vertices, and a sphere has 0 faces, 0 edges, and 0 vertices. Students also notice a triangle has 3 fewer sides than a hexagon. Part B matches cube, cone, sphere, and square pyramid to their vertex counts. This careful counting practice cements the geometry vocabulary second graders will rely on through elementary school.

★ Part A: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1) A shape with 5 sides is called a pentagon.
2) A rectangular prism has 8 vertices.
3) A pyramid with a square base has 5 vertices.
4) A shape with 6 sides is called a hexagon.
5) A cone has 1 vertex.
6) A sphere has 0 faces, 0 edges, and 0 vertices.
7) An octagon has 8 vertices.
8) A triangular prism has 6 vertices.
9) A triangle has 3 fewer sides than a hexagon.
★ Part B: Matching
Match each item on the left to the correct answer on the right.
1) Match each 3D shape to its number of vertices.
