Pyramid Facts (write these up on card &
display)
A
square pyramid has four triangular faces and one square face.
The
triangular faces 'taper' to a point which is called the apex.
Discussion
Point - if a pyramid is rested on one of its triangular faces,
is it still a 'square based pyramid'?
Construction Hints
- score the pyramid
net along ALL fold lines before attempting to assemble
- use a ruler to
aid scoring
- use sticky tape
on the tabs to assemble this shape rather than glue. It is much easier.
