Prism Tents



We investigated shapes for tents. We had to design and make a model of a tent. Many of the shapes we made were actually prisms.

Then we had to write about the mathematics within our tent. The writing  should include dimensions, properties of the shapes, and relevant te reo pāngarau.
We are learning to:

Identify classes of two- and three-dimensional shapes by their geometric properties.

Relate three-dimensional models to two- dimensional representations, and vice versa.
