Name objects
Students identify solids such as cones, cubes, cylinders, prisms, pyramids and spheres.
Free maths practice app
3D objects and nets practice app
A quick classroom-ready app for naming 3D objects, classifying prisms and pyramids, counting faces, edges and vertices, and matching simple nets.
Prism or pyramid
Classification questions ask students whether a solid is a prism, pyramid or neither.
Faces, edges, vertices
Students count important features and choose from number answer options.
Nets practice
Net questions ask students which solid a simple net can fold to make.
What students practise
The app is built for short, focused 3D object practice where students connect a solid, its features and its possible net.
- naming cones, cubes, rectangular prisms or cuboids, cylinders, prisms, pyramids and spheres
- classifying objects as prism, pyramid or neither
- counting faces, edges and vertices
- matching nets to cubes, rectangular prisms, square pyramids and triangular prisms or pyramids
- using object filters for all solids, prisms, pyramids or curved solids
How it fits a lesson
Use it after handling or drawing 3D objects, during rotations, as a warm-up, or as a quick check before moving into sorting, construction or net-folding tasks.
- start with name-objects questions when students are learning the vocabulary
- use prism/pyramid questions when students need to sort by structure
- move to faces, edges and vertices when students can inspect each solid systematically
- use nets or mixed mode once students can connect solids, features and flat layouts
Why it helps
3D object questions are stronger when students look past the name and check the faces, edges, vertices and net structure.
- connects object names with visual models
- builds careful feature counting
- links solid objects with simple nets
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the 3D objects and nets app free?
Yes. Students, teachers and families can open the 3D objects and nets practice app in a browser for free.
Which solids are included?
The app includes cones, cubes, rectangular prisms or cuboids, cylinders, hexagonal prisms, pentagonal prisms, spheres, square pyramids, triangular prisms and triangular pyramids.
What question types are included?
Students can name 3D objects, classify prisms and pyramids, count faces, edges and vertices, and match simple nets to solids.
Does it replace hands-on solids and nets?
No. It is designed for practice after students have handled, built, folded or discussed 3D objects and nets.
