2. What is a 3 D shape?  A 3 D shape has a length, width and height. A shape that has thickness.

3.  Prism - a 3-d shape with 2 faces that are congruent and parallel polygons. All other faces are rectangles. The name of the prism is based on the polygon faces.  Pyramid - a 3-d shape with one face that is a polygon which is called the base. All other faces are triangles that meet at a vertex (point) Prism Pyramid Base 2 faces congruent and parallel

4. 3-Dimensional Vocabulary  Face – a side of a 3-dimensional figure  Edge – where 2 faces meet  Vertex – where 2 edges meet

5.  Find the cube  How many faces does it have?  How many edges?  How many vertices?  What are examples of cubes in our real world?

6.  Find a rectangular prism.  How many faces does it have?  How many edges?  How many vertices?  What are examples of rectangular prisms in our real world?

7. Can a cube also be a rectangular prism? Remember squares are also rectangles.
