2-D Polygons
This polygon has 3 sides. They can be equal in length, all be different, or a pair can be the same length.
What is a triangle?
A=base x height (there are three answers, provide them all)
What are squares, rectangles, and parallelograms?
I have 6 congruent faces that are squares. When people say "roll the dice," they are rolling me.
What is a cube?
The side of a 3-dimensional object is also called this.
What is a face?
I only have 1 line that is curved. I am perfectly round. What am I?
What is a circle?
All of my sides are of equal length. My corners are all 90 degrees. What shape am I?
What is a square?
A=(base x height) / 2
What is a triangle?
The Great Pyramids of Giza are the most famous examples of this polyhedron.
What is a square-based pyramid?
I am the 3-D equivalent to a corner.
What is a vertex?
Common examples of this 3-D object include the globe, and basketballs.
What is a sphere?
I have 6 sides of equal length. Bees tend to use me in their honeycombs within their hives.
What is a hexagon?
A= ((a+b) / 2) x height
What is a trapezoid?
An example of me is a prism used to break white light into the colours of the rainbow. What am I?
What is a triangular prism?
This term is used for the boundary where 2 faces on a 3-D object meet.
What is an edge?
This object is what a pyramid would look like if the base was a circle. It is most often seen upside-down, holding ice-cream.
What is a cone?
Two pairs of parallel lines are required to construct me. My area formula is the same as a rectangle.
What is a parallelogram?
A= (diagonal line1 x diagonal line2) / 2 (there are 2 answers, give 1)
What is a kite or rhombus?
This object has 4 faces, all of which are triangles. Each triangle meets at a vertex.
What is a triangle-based pyramid?
I am made up of at least 3 lines. All my lines are straight. I am a closed figure that is two-dimensional.
What is a polygon.
This object is a hollow circle. Mr. H and Mr. R currently are both wearing one.
What is a ring?
A Stop Sign has 3 more sides than I do. There is a famous landmark in Virginia, U.S.A. that shares its name with me.
What is a pentagon?
A=s2
What is a square?
This object is made from 3 pairs of congruent opposite rectangles. Many apartment buildings and skyscrapers are this shape.
What is a rectangular prism?
Polygons are used to make me. I am what a 3-D object looks like if you were able to unfold it. One of our math stations involved cutting me out and building me. What am I?
What is a net?
Pringle cans and cans of pop are examples of this 3-dimensional object.
