Identifying Cubes

The lesson teaches how to identify cubes by recognizing solid shapes with six square faces. It begins with a review of rectangles and squares, explaining their properties as quadrilaterals. Rectangles are described as two-dimensional shapes with opposite sides of equal length, while squares have all sides equal. The lesson then introduces cubes as three-dimensional shapes with six square faces, using examples like dice to illustrate. Finally, it guides students on distinguishing cubes from other shapes by examining their faces.
