So we have the edge, the face and the corner(vertex) as shown in th diagram. Try to remember these three words and where they are on the 3D shape.

Now we will look at the five 3D shapes in this chapter and fill in table in your copy from the information below. Hint – the 2D shapes column is asking is there any 2D shapes that make up the 3D shapes. Tick yes in that column if you think there are 2D shapes in the 3D shape.
