I. Title
Three Dimensional Objects
II. Introduction
Understanding three- dimensional (3D) objects is super important because they’re
everywhere around us. From building to furniture, recognizing their properties helps
in real- world problem- solving and spatial reasoning.
The purpose of this lesson is to introduce and explore three – dimensional (3D)
objects, their properties and how they differ from 2D shapes.
III. Outline

B. Common 3D Shapes
Pyramids
Cubes

Cones
IV. Content
a. Background/Context
Geometry is the branch of mathematics concerned with the
properties and relations of points, lines, surfaces, solids, and higher-
dimensional analogs. This lesson specifically focuses on solid geometry,
which is the study of three-dimensional figures.
It builds upon prior lessons on two-dimensional (2D) shapes and
aims to make geometry tangible and relevant to students' daily lives by
using example from some of the rich cultural and architectural heritage of
the Philippines.
b. Key Findings/Information
History of 3D Shapes
All 3D shapes have three measurements: length, width, and height.
Shapes look different from different directions. All 2D shapes are only
measured by their length and width.
Aristotle said that 2D shapes are lines and not figures or bodies.
They are always described as extensions of lines or areas bounded by lines.
Conversely, 3D shapes have volume.
By convention, the first three dimensions are represented as spatial
dimensions x-y-z. Width, height, and depth are their respective names.
Properties of Three-dimensional Figures
In 3D shapes, 3D refers to three-dimensionality. Dimensions can
usually be thought of as measurements in a direction. Length, width, and
depth can be considered dimensions (Splashlearn).
c. Analysis and Discussion
Three- Dimensional Shapes- a solid figure or an object or shape that has
three dimensions: length, width, and height.
Two- Dimensional Shapes- flat and only have length and width.
Properties of 3D Objects:
1. Faces: The flat or curved surfaces of a 3D object.
2. Edges: The lines where two faces meet.
3. Vertices (Corners): The points where edges meet.
Geometric Shapes and their Properties
Name Common Characteristics
Pyramid Made up of a rectangular base and
triangular base. It has Length, Width,
Height.
Cube It has 6 square faces, 8 corners, and
12 edges.
Rectangular Prism It has 6 rectangular faces, 8 corners,
and 12 edges
Sphere It has a curved surface but has no
edge and corner.
Cylinder It has 2 circular faces, 2 curved
edges, and a curved surface, but has
no corner.
Cone It has one circular face, a curved
surface, one corner and one curved
edge.
d. Examples or Case Studies
a. 3D Figures
Funfact!
All three-dimensional shapes are made up of two-dimensional shapes.
b. Real- life Objects
3D shapes can be seen all around us. We can see a cube in a Rubik’s Cube and a die, a
rectangular prism in a book and a box, a sphere in a globe and a ball, a cone in a carrot and an
ice cream cone, and a cylinder in a bucket and a barrel around us.
Some real-life examples of 3D shapes are listed below:
Cone: Traffic cones and birthday caps are cone-shaped.
Triangular prism: A tent is the shape of a triangular prism.
Square pyramid: The pyramid of Giza in Egypt is the shape of a square pyramid.
Rectangular prism: Boxes such as shoe boxes and cereal boxes are shaped like
rectangular prisms.
e. Conclusion/Summary
This lesson effectively integrates fundamental geometric concepts, specifically three-
dimensional figures with real-life context. Three-dimensional objects serve as the building
blocks for understanding the shapes and spaces in our physical world. Always remember that
there are three properties of a three-dimensional figure namely face, vertex, and edge.
By learning 3D objects and its properties, students not only grasp key mathematical
concepts or principles but also develop an appreciation for the geometric beauty found in their
surroundings (e.g. buildings and infrastructure). The inclusion of local examples makes the
learning process both meaningful and memorable.

b. Real-life Objects Examples
c. Properties of 3D figures
VI. Conclusion
Three-dimensional objects are found everywhere. These shapes are not just figures
in textbook, but these are included to a building blocks objects we encounter in our
daily lives, from dice to balls to buildings and artifacts. This lesson also tackles the
key vocabulary of properties (e.g. face, vertices, edges) and figures of 3D shapes
(e.g. cylinder, pyramid, cone).
This lesson showed a table of 3D figures. For each figure the table clearly shows its
common characteristics, such as the number and shape of its faces, edges, and
corners.
