This topic focuses on identifying and naming simple 3D shapes in real-world contexts as part of a basic geometry unit. Each problem presents an image of a 3D object, and learners are to classify it as one of several types: cylinder, triangular prism, rectangular prism, cone, cube, or sphere. This fosters visual recognition and understanding of fundamental three-dimensional shapes in geometry.
