Activity 4: Review of Solid Figures
face-
a flat surface of a solid that does not roll.
edge
- a line segment where two faces of a solid figure meet.
vertex
- The point where two rays meet. The point where the sides of a polygon
meet. The point where three or more edges of a solid figure meet. (plural
- vertices)
Toothpicks
Connectors - with
hollow straws, you can use paper clips or thick pipe cleaners, bent and
stuck inside the straw ends to connect two or more together. With
toothpicks you can use clay, play dough, mini-marshmallows, or small jelly
beans as connectors. Make shapes and count the faces, edges, and vertices.
