Real life prisms and pyramids.
Hi 6A,
We have been inquiring into the properties of prisms and pyramids and we were thinking about real life examples. Look for real life examples of each 3D shape and post them on our blog. Give information about the type of prism and pyramid e.g. triangular prism and where in the world it is.
