A prism is a three dimensional figure. It has corners and flat sides. Prisms are named after the shape of their base. There are all kinds of prisms: triangular, hexagonal, pentagonal, and square prisms. Remember, a cylinder is not a prism because it has curved sides. Some of our favorite prisms are edible. A block of cheese or a Toblerone candy bar are some examples of the edible kind. Remember to look around your house & school to see if you can spot any prisms. We think the word prism is verrrry interesting!
