Understand what a hexagonal prism is as a three-dimensional solid.
Identify the parts of a hexagonal prism: two hexagonal bases, rectangular faces, edges, and vertices.
Recognize the difference between a 2D hexagon and a 3D hexagonal prism.
Develop spatial awareness and 3D visualization through hands-on model making.
Connect prism shapes to real-life examples and applications.
A hexagonal prism has two identical hexagonal bases connected by rectangular faces.
It is a 3D shape with length, width, and height, unlike a 2D hexagon.
The number of faces, edges, and vertices depends on the six-sided base.
Making a DIY model helps students visualize and understand prism structures clearly.
Hexagonal prisms are seen in pencils, nuts & bolts, beehives, and architectural designs.
