Q1How many faces, edges and vertices does a cube have, in this order?
A cube has 6 flat square faces, 12 straight edges where faces meet, and 8 vertices where three edges meet. Children can count these on a dice or a paper cube model in class.
Q2Which one of the following statements about a square is correct?
A square is a closed 2-D figure with four sides of equal length and four right angles, each of 90 degrees. Its opposite sides are parallel. Children verify this by folding or measuring a square cut-out at the primary stage.
Q3Which of the following statements about a circle is INCORRECT?
A circle has no straight sides and no corners; it is a smooth closed curve. Statements A, B and D correctly describe a circle. Statement C wrongly describes a square or a rectangle, not a circle.
Q4Assertion (A): A cube and a cuboid both have six flat faces. Reason (R): All six faces of a cube are equal squares, while a cuboid has rectangular faces that may differ in size. Choose the correct option.
Both statements are true: a cube and a cuboid each have six flat faces, and a cube has equal square faces while a cuboid has rectangular faces of possibly varying sizes. However, the reason describes how the two solids differ in face shape, not why both share the property of having six faces. So R is true but is not the explanation of A — the correct option is B.
Q5A triangle has three sides of equal length. Which type of triangle is it?
A triangle with all three sides of equal length is called an equilateral triangle. All its three angles are also equal, each measuring 60 degrees. Class III-V learners identify equilateral triangles by measuring sides with a ruler and comparing.
