Hi. Just letting you know the 3rd section is missing the faces/vertices/edges writing!
Hi Keeley, thanks for bringing this up. This was done intentionally, as it provides an opportunity for the students to write the labels themselves (further demonstrating their understanding). It also allows for use with objects that have curved surfaces/edges. Let me know if I can assist further!
Could this be altered with 'vertices' in place of 'corners'?
Hi Jenny, Thank you for your suggestion. I have altered the PDF to use the term 'vertices' rather than 'corners'. An editable Word Document is also available for those who wish to make any additional changes to the terminology. Please get in touch if we can help with anything else!
