Last week, we learned some terminology about 2-dimensional shapes. We know what parallel, perpendicular, right angle, and quadrilateral mean. Now, we are going to move on to 3-dimensional shapes. Below are some pictures of 3D shapes with their names.
There are two main types of 3D Shapes that we will be identifying and drawing.
The first one is a prism. A prism has two identical shapes facing each other. Look at the chart below to see examples of prisms. Notice that each of them are named after the face of its base (in other words, the face of the shapes that are facing each other).

The second type of 3D shape we will be looking at is a pyramid. A pyramid has a base, or bottom in which all of the points (or vertices) of the base reach up and meet at one point up top. These pyramids are named after their base shape. See below for some examples of pyramids. Note that these ones look a bit tilted because they want you to see the shape of the base.
Each 3D shape is composed of three things - faces, edges, and vertices (or corners). The video below does a good job of explaining each. Now, you only have to watch until 3:35 in the video, because we aren't going to focus on cylinders, cones, or spheres. Once you watch the video to get a better understanding of faces, edges, and vertices, please complete the practice page at the bottom.

Now, as you remember, 3D Shape are named after their base. You are going to learn how to draw 3D shapes below:
Now, I'd like you to do these 6 practice questions:

Here is a final project that you can choose to do - its sort of a math/art combination project! This could be done on a plain piece of paper.
