A face is a flat or curved surface on a 3D shape. For example a cube has six faces, a cylinder has three and a sphere has just one.

How many faces edges and vertices does a sphere have?

Spheres actually have 1 face, 0 edges, and 0 vertices. Here are the properties of other common 3D shapes: Cube: 6 faces, 12 edges, and 8 vertices.

How many face does a cone have?

Students should realize that a cone has only one face, and you need more than one face to form an edge. Ask: Does a cone have any vertices? Lead students to see that a cone has no edges, but the point where the surface of the cone ends is called the vertex of the cone. Say: Look at the cylinder.
