Student Instructions

Teacher Notes (not visible to students)

This activity is designed to help students identify cubes among other 3D shapes and understand their defining properties. Encourage students to count carefully and use the image to support their answers. The explanation question promotes critical thinking about shape attributes. Use the drawing tools in Seesaw for circling cubes and writing tools for answers. This activity is self-checking as students can verify the number of faces, vertices, and edges on cubes and compare shapes visually. iReady Gr 2 Lesson 28 Session 3
