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.

Step 1: Count the faces of the cube. A cube is a 3D box shape made up of 6 square faces (front, back, top, bottom, left, right). 6 faces Step 2: Count the vertices of the cube. Vertices are the corners where 3 faces meet. Label them: there are 8 corners. 8 vertices Step 3: Count the edges of the cube. Edges are the straight lines where 2 faces meet. There are 12 edges (4 on top, 4 on bottom, 4 vertical). 12 edges Step 4: Complete the sentence. A cube has 6 faces, 8 vertices, and 12 edges. 6 faces, 8 vertices, and 12 edges
