SOLIDS AND 3-D CUBE MODELS
There are lots of interesting three-dimensional (3-D) shapes to study in mathematics. These shapes are the fundamental shapes of many objects you find around you, both naturally and man-made. First we’ll look at some 3-D shapes sometimes referred to as solids.
Prisms are one group of the solids. Prisms are named by the shape of their bases.
We can build 3-D models from cubes. Take a look at a model built out of candles found around the house. The candles could be used because they were cube-shaped.
