1. Use a rectangular prism. Sketch each face and name its shape. Write all that you know about a rectangular prism. 2. Use a triangular prism. Sketch each face and name its shape. Write all that you know about a triangular prism. 3. Look through magazines. Find as many examples as you can of objects shaped like: a) a rectangular prism b) a triangular prism
Lesson 2: Constructing Prisms
1. Use some or all of 16 green Pattern Blocks. Make as many triangular prisms as you can. Describe each prism you make. 2. Use all 20 Snap Cubes. Make as many rectangular prisms as you can. Describe each prism you make.

Lesson 3: Exploring Nets
You will need scissors and 2 Jello boxes. Carefully cut along the edges of one box so it lies flat. Cut along the edges of another box a different way, so that it lies flat. Trace around each flattened box. 1. What have you made? 2. How are your tracings the same? How are they different?
Lesson 5: Symmetrical Shapes
Draw all the lines of symmetry on each shape.

Lesson 6: Line Symmetry
1. Copy each shape on dot paper. Each broken line is a line of symmetry. Complete each shape so it is symmetrical. a)
b)
Lesson 7: Sorting by Lines of Symmetry
Write all the capital letters of the alphabet: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ Draw a Venn diagram. Sort the letters using these attributes: Has 0 lines of symmetry. Has 1 line of symmetry. Has more than 1 line of symmetry.

Lesson 1: Objects in Our World
Lesson 3: Exploring Nets
1. Answers may vary.
If students trace a rectangular prism, they will have 3 pairs of congruent rectangles. If students trace a square prism, they will have 1 pair of congruent squares and 2 pairs of congruent rectangles. If students trace a cube, they will have 6 congruent squares. A rectangular prism has 6 rectangular faces and opposite faces are congruent.
1. I have made a net for a rectangular prism. Nets
may vary; for example,
2. Students should trace 2 congruent triangles
and 3 rectangles. The rectangles will be congruent if the triangle is equilateral; there will be 2 congruent rectangles if the triangle is isosceles. A triangular prism has two triangular faces that are its bases and 3 more rectangular faces.
2. The tracings are the same in that they have the
same 6 faces. They are different because the 6 faces are arranged in different ways.
Lesson 5: Symmetrical Shapes
Lines of symmetry are shown below.
3. Answers will vary; student may find buildings
and cereal boxes shaped like rectangular prisms; very few real-world objects are shaped like triangular prisms.
Lesson 2: Constructing Prisms
1. Here are possible triangular prisms: all 16 triangles will make one large equilateral triangle one block high; 9 and 4 of the triangles will also make triangular prisms one block high; 8 of the triangles will make a prism 2 blocks high; 12 of the triangles will make a prism 3 blocks high; 16 triangles will make a prism 4 blocks high; 16 triangles can also be stacked 16 high. 2. Here are possible rectangular prisms: a 1 by 20 array, a 2 by 10 array, a 4 by 5 array all one block high; a 1 by 10 array and a 2 by 5 array both two blocks high;
