You’ve developed an Architectural Eye! Mission Complete! Not quite! Remember the "Pancake vs. Ball" rule and try again! Architect Training Level ... Is it the ... ? ... Or the ... Blueprint verified! The Square Pyramid has 5 Faces, 5 Vertices, and 8 Edges. Incorrect blueprint! Check the number of corners and flat sides again.
Which of these is a 3-D solid you can actually hold?
A sphere is 3-D like a ball, while circles and squares are flat!
Why can a cylinder roll across the floor?
Objects with curved surfaces roll, while flat faces help things slide!
If you trace the bottom of a cube, what 2-D shape do you draw?
A cube is made of six equal square faces!
What do we call the sharp "corners" where the edges of a shape meet?
Vertices are the points where three or more faces meet.
How many vertices does a standard cube have?
A cube has 4 corners on the top and 4 on the bottom, making 8 total!
To build a triangular pyramid "skeleton," what do the toothpicks represent?
In a model, the sticks represent the straight edges of the shape!
Which shape looks like a party hat?
A cone has a circular base and comes to a single point, just like a party hat!
A soccer ball is an example of which 3-D shape?
A soccer ball is a sphere, perfectly round in 3 dimensions!
How many faces does a standard dice have?
A dice is a cube, and a cube has 6 square faces!

Imagine a world as flat as a piece of paper—you couldn't kick a ball or live in a house! 2-D shapes like squares are flat, but 3-D solids like cubes have "depth," which allows them to take up space and stand tall.

Flat vs. Solid
From 2-D drawings to 3-D objects.
Every 3-D structure has a secret skeleton! Faces are the flat surfaces, edges are the lines where faces meet, and vertices are the pointy corners. Knowing these parts helps us build everything from dice to pyramids!

Anatomy of a Shape
Faces, Edges, and Vertices.
There are many families of shapes! Prisms are like blocks, Pyramids come to a point, and Spheres are perfectly round. Let's see how they differ!

Shape Families
Prisms, Pyramids, and Spheres.
It’s a math miracle! Faces plus Vertices minus Edges always equals two for shapes like cubes and pyramids. Try testing it on your next model!
Did you know?
Euler’s Magic Formula: Faces + Vertices - Edges = 2!
