Give students a number of two and three dimensional objects and then have students classify the objects based on the number of vertices or number of sides. For example, you can call out sort by sides and have students sort out all of the 2d objects and the 3d objects based on the number of sides they have. The one who does it correctly the fastest will get a prize
