Cross Sections Matching Activity – 3D Figures and Cross Sections

⭐️⭐️⭐️ This Cross Sections Matching Activity gives students practice identifying the horizontal and vertical cross sections of three-dimensional figures. Students match each 3D figure to the correct pair of 2D cross-section shapes and record their answers on a student response page.

This is a short, targeted activity designed for review, stations, or quick formative assessment.

✅ Skills Covered:

• Identifying 2D cross sections created by slicing 3D figures
• Distinguishing between horizontal and vertical cross sections
• Connecting 3D solids to resulting 2D shapes
• Applying geometric reasoning to real-world models

✅ What’s Included:

• 10 three-dimensional figures
• Horizontal and vertical cross-section shape options
• Student matching page
• Answer key
• One cross-section option in each column is not used, requiring careful reasoning

⭐️ This resource can be found in my Surface Area and Volume High School Geometry Curriculum Unit.
