Look at the faces first: all flat, some curved, or none. Then count edges (where two faces meet) and vertices (corners).
Watch for: Calling a sphere a circle, or a cube a square. Forgetting the faces you can't see from the front. Mixing up cones and cylinders.
At home: Go on a shape hunt in the kitchen: a can is a cylinder, a cereal box is a rectangular prism. Count a box's faces together.
