FEATURED Triangular Prism Model 2

Description of Cricut Lesson & Activity

Use these two models to learn about the shape of prisms and how flat planes can become a prism. One model is to glue together and keep as a 3D shape, and the other is to show how it can fold into the shape and unfold to a flat plane.
