Intermediate Test Prep Math 8 (Grades5-6) design and construct prisms, cones, cylinders, and pyramids.

Pyramids have:
1 base
triangular side faces that meet at one vertex

A face is a flat surface. On prisms and pyramids faces are polygons.

An edge is a line formed by two faces.

A vertex is the point where two or more edges meet.

Three Dimensional Shapes

Example:
	Name the 3-dimensional figure.
This tent is a triangular pyramid. It has 5 flat face, 8 edges, and 5 vertices. A triangular pyramid has to have 1 base, and triangular side faces that meet at one vertex. This tent has 1 base, and triangular side faces that meet at one vertex, so that makes this tent a triangular pyramid.

Remember:

Prisms have:

Pyramids have:
