Advanced 3D Shapes Memory Game

Advanced 3D Shapes Memory Game

Make geometry revision more engaging with this Advanced 3D Shapes Memory Game.

This printable matching activity contains 24 pairs (48 cards). Students match each illustration of a 3D solid with its correct mathematical name.

The game includes a range of 3D shapes, including prisms, pyramids and selected Platonic solids, and is suitable for middle school geometry.

Students will encounter familiar shapes such as cones, cylinders and spheres, as well as different types of prisms and pyramids, regular polyhedra, an oblique prism and a truncated cone.

The activity can be used for revision after teaching 3D shapes, as a pair or small-group activity, at a maths station, or as a simple way to practise mathematical vocabulary and shape recognition.

This resource includes:

24 matching pairs (48 printable cards)
illustrated 3D shape cards
corresponding name cards
a selection of familiar and less common geometric solids
a print-and-play format

Students practise:

identifying and naming 3D solids
distinguishing between different types of prisms and pyramids
recognising less familiar geometric solids
spatial awareness
mathematical vocabulary
memory and concentration

Suggested level: Middle School / Grades 6–8
