3D Shapes - Count Edges and Faces - Reversed (Level 1)

This math topic focuses on recognizing 3D shapes based on their properties, specifically the number of edges and faces each shape possesses. It is designed to enhance students' understanding of geometric shapes in a tangible manner by reverse engineering – identifying shapes from given attributes. The problems require students to select from multiple visual options, the shape that matches the specified number of edges and faces, such as a shape with 6 edges and 4 faces, or 12 edges and 6 faces. This practice aligns with fundamental concepts in geometry and surface area studies of 3D shapes.
