ALISTAIR'S 3D FIND!

Alistair EMAILED in this picture of a cushion.

It is shaped like a RECTANGULAR PRISM.

This cushion is also shaped like another 3D shape we explored today.

Can you name that shape? Leave your answer in a comment!

(CLUE: it's the same shape as Lachlan's pencil container)

WELL DONE, ALISTAIR!!

DON'T FORGET, YOU TOO CAN DO JUST AS ALISTAIR HAS.

TAKE OUT THE CAMERA AND SNAP PHOTOS OF OBJECTS SHAPED LIKE

ON THE HUNT FOR RECTANGULAR PRISMS

This week we have started learning about

3

Today we explored the
RECTANGULAR PRISM.
It has:

* 6 flat faces
* 12 straight edges
* 8 corners


We then went looking for 'RECTANGULAR PRISMS' in our classroom.
We found...
Mrs M's STICKER BOXES,

the CUPBOARD,

a GAME BOX,

our TIDY TRAYS,

the COMPUTER TOWERS and a CAMERA,

the BOOK BOX ( if you cut off the legs!),

the DATA PROJECTOR,

the LAPTOP,

the LAPTOP CARRYBAG,

the MAGNETIC LETTER BOX

and the FIRE HOSE CABINET are ALL shaped like

RECTANGULAR PRISMS.

SEARCH for RECTANGULAR PRISMS at home. You will find them EVERYWHERE once you start looking.

LEAVE A COMMENT to tell us what objects you found that are shaped like

RECTANGULAR PRISMS or better still... take pictures and EMAIL them to

1mgems@gmail.com so we can post them straight onto the blog.
