LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEETS

Visualizing and Describing the Different Solid Figures

Learning Competencies:

• Visualizes and describes the different solid figures: cube, prism, pyramid, cylinder, cone, and sphere
using various concrete and pictorial models. M6GE-IIa-27
• Differentiates solid figures from plane figures. M6GE-IIIa-28
• Identifies the faces of a solid figure. M6GE-IIIb-30

Background Information for Learners (Overview of the Lesson)

Geometry is all around us. Anything with physical characteristic is geometrically formed. Geometry
is a branch of Mathematics that studies the sizes, shapes, positions, angles, and dimension of things. The
concepts we will be learning will increase our knowledge about geometry.

All the things that we see inside and outside our houses come in different shapes. Canned goods like
sardines are cylindrical in shape, the box of milk, box of toothpaste and bar of soap come in the shape of a
rectangular prism. The ice on the freezer are cube in shape. The balls we use for playing and the coconut
fruits on the tree are spherical in shapes. The tent we use for camping may come in the shape of a triangular
prism or a pyramid. These figures are called solid figures.

Solid figures are figures that have three dimensions such as length, width, and height.
How do we describe a solid figure?

Let us look at the characteristics of the different solid figures.

Learning Task 1: Write the name of each solid figure.
Learning Task 2: Complete the data by writing the number of edges, faces and vertices of the given solid
figures.

Learning Task 3: Choose the solid figure in Column B that is represented by the
following objects in column A.

Learning Task 4:
Learning Task 5:
Directions: Write True if the statement is correct and False if it is not correct. Write answers on a sheet of
paper.
_________1. A solid figure can be seen and touched.
_________2. A cube is also a prism.
_________3. All solid figures have straight faces.
_________4. A cylinder has one vertex.
_________5. A triangular prism has 6 vertices.
_________6. Prism and pyramid are named according to the shape of its base.
_________7. Spheres have two circular bases.
_________8. A cylinder has a curved lateral face.
_________9. Appliances are also solid figures.
_________10. A cone has a circular base.

Performance Task 1:

On a short bond paper, draw one object that resembles the following solid figures:

1. cube
2. rectangular prism
3. pyramid
4. cone
5. cylinder
6. sphere
