how to make a prism shape using paper?

Question

the shape should be 2D.explain in steps.

Answer 1

It is important to build a bridge between the technology representing the shapes, the 3-dimensional objects, and the 2-dimensional drawings of 3-dimensional objects. Visiting the problem using both techniques addresses a variety of learning styles, brings the abstract into the concrete, and offers interaction with the computer as students investigate, discover, form hypotheses, draw conclusions, and benefit from the quick feedback, the interest and the increased visualization of scaling that a computer provides. Once students have had these experiences it is important to arrive at a synthesis by spending the time necessary to internalize the concepts. Manipulatives can provide space for group work, computers can afford individual explorations, and a synthesis can take place during a full-class discussion. Students can then demonstrate their individual understandings through the writing process.
