Prancing Prisms Math Help Game Tips: - In this game, you name the different prisms. Get three correct answers to make the prisms prance! - A prism is a solid having two ends, which are parallel faces of the same size and shape, and having parallelograms for the other lateral faces. - In a 'right prism' the lateral (side) faces are rectangles. - The end face of a prism is also called a 'base'. Prisms are often pictured standing on one base. The height (altitude) of a prism is the perpendicular distance between the parallel end faces. - When the ends are triangles, the prism is called a 'triangular prism'. - When the ends are quadrilaterals, the prism is called a 'quadrangular prism'. - When the ends are pentagons, the prism is called a 'pentagonal prism'. - When the ends are hexagons, the prism is called a 'hexagonal prism'. - When the ends are octagons, the prism is called an 'octagonal prism'. - The Volume (capacity) of a prism can be found by multiplying its 'base Area' times its 'Height'. - See the other SliderMath games for more about the volume of solids. - It may take a minute to load the game at dial-up speeds. - The game can be played using the mouse by itself or using the keyboard by itself. - If the game doesn't respond to keyboard input, click inside the game area to reset the game's focus. - The game speeds up as your score increases.
