EVALUATION










MATH ASSISTANT

PREREQUISITES;
A polygon is a plane shape with three or more sides.
Triangle (3 sides) nonagon (9 sides)
Quadrilateral (4 sides) decagon (10 sides)
Pentagon (5 sides) undecagon (11 sides)
Hexagon (6 sides) dodecagon (12 sides)
Heptagon (7 sides)
Octagon (8 sides)

A regular polygon is a plane shape with all angles equal and all sides equal.

A polyhedron is a space figure with faces that are polygons.

A right prism is a polyhedron with two parallel bases that are congruent
polygons. Its other faces are rectangles.

A pyramid is a polyhedron with one base. Its other faces are triangles











ACTIVITY SHEET #1
Purpose: To classify prisms and pyramids.

PRISMS PYRAMIDS





ACTIVITY SHEET #2
Purpose: To state the number of faces, edges and vertices of a solid.
NAME OF SOLID
NUMBER OF FACES
NUMBER OF EDGES
NUMBER OF VERTICES






SONG

I come to see the solids faces
I come to see the solids yea!
I come to see the solids edges
I come to see the solids yea!
I come to see the solids vertices
I come to see the solids yea!

I see solids all around us
I see solids all around

I see solids in the country
I see solids in the town
