Properties of a Cube
(write these up on card & display)

- A cube has six square faces, 12 edges and 8 verticies.
- All sides of a cube are the same length
- All faces of a cube have the same area
- a corner (vertices) is where 3 faces meet
- an edge is where 2 faces meet
- A cube is sometimes referred to as a 'regular hexadron'
- It is said that a cube has 48 symmetries. How many can you find?
- Cubes stack really well i.e. they leave no gaps. So why are most boxes rectangular prisms?
- If you dipped each face in paint and printed it, what shape would each print be?
