Answer sheet

1. a ball — A ball is curved all over, so it rolls any way you push it.
2. 6 — A dice has 6 flat faces, numbered 1 to 6.
3. boxes — Boxes have flat faces, so they sit firmly on top of each other.
4. Where two faces of an object meet — An edge is the line where two faces meet, like the side of a box.
5. 3 — A triangle has 3 straight sides and 3 corners.
6. circles — The top and bottom of a can are circles.
7. a can — A can rolls on its curved side and stacks on its flat ends. A ball does not stack well and a book does not roll.
8. 4 — A rectangle has 4 sides and 4 corners.
