MATHEMATICS 6

WEEK 1 DAY 1
 OBJECTIVE:

Visualizes and describes the

different solid figures: cube,
prism, pyramid, cylinder, cone, and
sphere using various
concrete and pictorial models.
 Visualizing and
Describing Different
Solid Figures
Look at the pictures below. What shapes
do you see?
• Polyhedron is a solid figure whose
sides are all polygons. Each side is
called a face. Two faces that intersect
in a line segment are called an
edge. Two edges that intersect in a
point are called a vertex.
• A cube is a special type
of rectangular prism that
has six equal faces. All
edges of a cube are of
the same length.
• A prism is a polyhedron with
two parallel equal bases that
are shaped like polygons. The
other faces of a prism are
shaped like parallelograms. A
prism is named by the shape of its
bases.
• A pyramid is a polyhedron
with a single base shaped like a
polygon. The faces of a pyramid
are triangular and meet at a
point. A pyramid is named by
the shape of its base.
*Some three-dimensional figures
have curved surfaces.
• A cylinder has two parallel
equal circular bases.
• A cone has a circular base and
one vertex.
• A sphere is a solid
whose all points on its
surface has the same
distance from its center.
Figure 1 shows a cube. A cube is a
polyhedron with 6 faces that are
Congruent squares. It has 8 vertices
and 12 edges. The edges have equal
length.
The faces are flat surfaces.
The edges are the line segments where
the faces meet or intersect.
The vertices are the points where
edges meet.

Some examples of cubes in the real

world are the following:
Figure 2 shows a rectangular
prism. It has 6 faces, 12 edges, and
8
vertices. A rectangular prism is
bounded by rectangles and its
corners are right angles.
Some examples of rectangular
prism are the following:
Figure 3 shows a triangular prism.
It is composed of two triangular
bases and three rectangular lateral
faces.
It has 5 faces, 9 edges, and 6
vertices.
Some examples of triangular prism
are the following:
Associate the following objects with the given solid
figure by matching column A and
column B.
Determine whether the following object is a
PLANE FIGURE or SOLID FIGURE.
Directions: Look around you and
draw objects that represent the
following solid figures.

1. cone
2. triangular pyramid
What is a
polyhe-
dron?
EVALUATION
Directions: Visualize and describe the
different solid figures. Complete the table
below.
ASSIGNMENT:

TRUE or FALSE.

___________1. A plane figure has three dimensions.

___________2. A solid figure always has a height.
___________3. A square pyramid has 6 faces.
___________4. A face is the flat side of a solid figure.
