How to teach it
Sort a mixed pile of flat shapes and solid objects into two groups, then explain the rule: a 2D shape lies flat with no thickness; a 3D shape takes up space and you could hold it.
Worked example
Common mistake
Confusing a picture of a shape (flat, on paper) with the solid object it represents, since a drawing of a cube is itself 2D.
