Look at each shape. Then copy and complete each sentence: a A cube has ___ faces, ___ vertices and ___ edges. b A ___ has 5 faces, ___ vertices and ___ edges. c A ___ has ___ faces, 8 vertices and ___ edges.

A cube is a 3D box shape made up of 6 square faces (front, back, top, bottom, left, right).

$$6 \text{ faces}$$

Vertices are the corners where 3 faces meet. Label them: there are 8 corners.

$$8 \text{ vertices}$$

Edges are the straight lines where 2 faces meet. There are 12 edges (4 on top, 4 on bottom, 4 vertical).

$$12 \text{ edges}$$

A cube has 6 faces, 8 vertices, and 12 edges.

6 faces, 8 vertices, and 12 edges
