Learning Activity #1

Introduction
Who can remind me what the three words we learnt about last class? One
word began with F, one began with v, and one began with e.
Ask students if any of them can remind me how to figure out how many of
each the objects have.
Students are expected to create a triangular prism; students are expected
to participate in discussions either through attentive listening or speaking.
Go over the vocabulary
Describe the right rectangular prism
Create the triangular prism
Describe the triangular prism
We are going to go through the vocabulary again and look at some
examples
Body
Vocabulary/describe a rectangular prism
Ask students what the object on the board is called: cube
Ask students if they know why the object is drawn with dotted
lines instead of solid?
The dotted lines show all the faces of the object. It shows the ones
at the back that usually you couldnt see because the object is solid
Hold up the wooden cube to emphasis this point
First slide: faces
Ask students to look at the cube and to find the number of faces

Assessments/ Differentiation

Learning Activity #3

It has: 6
Ask students to remind you what the shape was that they made last
class (hold one up)
Rectangular prism
Ask three students to help handout the prisms from last class
Ask students to figure out how many faces a rectangular prism has
(hint- we numbered them last class)
Second slide: edges (Lines)
Ask students if they can explain how we can find the edges of the
cube
Count the number of lines that an object has
Get students to count how many there are
Cube has: 12 edges
Get students to figure out how many edges a rectangular prism has
It has: 12
Third slide: vertices (Corners)
Ask students if they can explain how we can find the vertices of a
cube?
Vertices are: A point where two or more straight lines meet. A
corner. - http://www.mathsisfun.com/definitions/vertex.html
Ask students to count the number of vertices a cube has
Cube has: 8
Ask students to figure out how many vertices a rectangular prism
has
Rectangular prism has: 8
Get students to look at the pyramid on the SMART Board and figure
out the faces, edges, and vertices (slide 5)
Assessments- discussion/observation
Are students able to use the vocabulary to describe a rectangular
prism?- grade 3 LO 1
Differentiation
If students were missing last class and didnt create a rectangular
prism get them to pair up with someone who did
Create a triangular prism
Get two students to hand out the handout
Ask students if they know what a prism is: A prism is a solid
object with: identical ends flat sides and the same cross section all
along its length !http://www.mathsisfun.com/geometry/prisms.html
Use the rectangular prism as an example: it has two end that
identical and flat (they are squares); flat sides; and no matter
where I would cut this I would get the end shape (i.e. a square)
Explain to students that this handout is slightly different than the
one from last class
Students are to cut out the net and fold the shape on the lines
Students are to figure out how to fold the shape to get it to look like
the one on the board (Slide 6)
Assessment- observation/product
Are students able to construct a right triangular prism?- grade 4 LO
2
Differentiation
Get students missing from last class to do this prism over the
rectangular one.

Feedback To Students
Transition To Next Lesson

Get students to use the new vocabulary they have learnt this class
to describe a triangular prism
Faces: 5
Edges: 9
Vertices: 6
For each answer get students to explain how they figured out that
answer
Get them to draw show on their own triangular prism how they
found those answers
Assessment- discussion/observation
Are students able to use the vocabulary to describe a triangular
prism?- grade 4 LO 3
Students can group up and look at the wooden objects from last class. They
need to see if they can figure out the number of edges, faces, and vertices
each shape has. (Up to 6 groups)
Closure
Do student construct a triangular prism?
Are students able to apply the new vocabulary to both prism?
Does anyone have any questions? Is anyone confused about what a face,
edge, or vertices is?
Comment on work ethic, how they worked on their prisms, and their
participation in class
Next class we will be looking at patterns
