WALT: construct models of polyhedron shapes using everyday materials

In class today our activity was to assemble a polyhedron shape using everyday materials. we had to create, name and find the vertices, faces and edges. I added in how many polygons I used, I named them and added in how many of them I used for my polyhedron. We learnt an easy way to find the edges of a polyhedron shape, you have to add the vertices and faces then take away 2 then you get the number of edges.

Name: Pentagonal prism

Faces: 9

Vertices: 10

9 + 10 - 2

19 - 2 = 17

Edges: 17

Polygons: 3

Triangle - 2

Square - 6

Parallelogram - 2
