In this activity, we will learn the difference between 2D and 3D shapes.
2-dimensional (2D) shapes are flat and can only be drawn on paper.
3-dimensional (3D) shapes are solid and can be picked up.
We need to be familiar with the names of the following shapes.
In this activity, you will need to be able to spot the difference between the two types of shapes.
Let's try an example question.
Example

Answer
A six-sided dice is a 3D shape called a cube.
