Prisms and Cylinders worksheets for Grade 5 (Elementary School)
What this unit covers
Solids whose congruent faces sit facing each other at top and bottom are sorted into prisms and cylinders. Names come from the shape of the base, giving triangular, quadrilateral and pentagonal prisms, and the counts of vertices, edges and faces are worked out by tying them to the number of corners on the base.
Answering 5 for the number of faces on a pentagonal prism, without counting the two bases, stands out. For edges, doubling only the base edges and dropping the vertical edges of the sides gives 10 instead of 15, which is typical. Confusing a base with a side face, and misreading a figure drawn lying on its side, also occurs.
