1. Prisms, Pyramids, Cones, and Cylinders! Oh My! Kathleen Wilder Howard Middle School

2. Prisms

3.  Prisms have 2 congruent bases.  The faces of a prism are parallelograms.  We are going to study the rectangular prism.  Rectangular Prisms have 8 vertices.  Rectangular Prisms have 6 faces.  Rectangular Prisms have 12 edges.

5. Pyramids

6. Pyramids have 1 base. Pyramids have triangular side faces that meet at one vertex. We are going to study the square pyramid. Square pyramids have 4 faces. Square pyramids have 5 vertices. Square pyramids have 8 edges.

8. Cylinders

9. Cylinders have two bases that are circles. The two bases are congruent and parallel. A cylinder has one face. A cylinder has two edges. A cylinder has no vertices.

11. Cones

12. A cone has a circular base. A cone has one edge. A curved surface connects the base to the vertex. A cone has one vertex.
