Classifying 3d Shapes

Cylinders look like soda cans
They're the shape of pots and pans
They have two circular bases
That are congruent and parallel faces
You see cones in construction zones
Or when you're eating ice cream cones
All points of their circular base meet at
The same point like a party hat

These are all three-dimensional shapes
They all have a base and take up space
These are all three-dimensional shapes
The three dimensions are height, width, and length

Pyramids are what the ancient Egyptians made
The Mayans and the Aztecs did the same
They're made with a polygon at the base
And triangular faces that meet in one place
Some prisms are rectangular like a room
Some prisms are triangular like a roof
Polygons with edges joining at the vertices
Make a prism, as you can see

These are all three-dimensional shapes
They all have a base and take up space
These are all three-dimensional shapes
The three dimensions are height, width, and length

There's one special three-dimensional shape
They're called spheres like the planets in outer space
On spheres, there's no base to be found
Because every sphere is perfectly round
