DD has homework which is a table to fill in with pictures of various 3d shapes. She has to fill in name, number of faces, vertices and edges. Mostly fine, although we did have to resort to modelling a lump of playdoh into the shape when she struggled to really visualise some of the trickier ones. I was impressed she knew triangular prism though (i didn't!).
My query is when you have a 3d shape with a pentagon at each end, or a hexagon at each end, what the hell are they called? I have tried googling without success.....
Many thanks in advance if anyone knows!
