Three-dimensional figures are Three-dimensional figures are notnot flat figures. They flat figures. They have length, width, and height. They are also have length, width, and height. They are also

called called solid geometric figures.solid geometric figures.

The flat surfaces of three-The flat surfaces of three-dimensional figures are called faces.dimensional figures are called faces.

The faces meet at edges.The faces meet at edges.The edges are line segments.The edges are line segments.The edges meet at vertices (plural of The edges meet at vertices (plural of

vertex).vertex).

A cube, just like a rectangular prism, has 6 faces (all squares), 8 vertices, and 12 edges.

A prism is named based on what type of base you start with. For example, if you start with a rectangle on the base (bottom) you will have constructed a rectangular prism. If you start with a triangle on the base (bottom) you will have constructed a triangular prism.

Let’s view some examples…

Just like with prisms, pyramids are also named based on what type of base you start with. For example, if you start with a rectangle on the base (bottom) you will have constructed a rectangular pyramid. If you start with a triangle on the base (bottom) you will have constructed a triangular pyramid.

Let’s view some examples…

A sphere is an object shaped like a ball. Every point on the surface of the sphere is the same distance from the center.

You will now join with a partner to “create” some 3-D shapes. You will be given a table to fill in based on the creation you make. You will be finding the number of faces, edges, and vertices of different pyramids and prisms. Complete the entire table. We will then discuss your findings as a group.
