I uncovered the Interactives website this evening as I was helping my son with some math homework. He had a homework sheet where they’re learning about 3-D shapes.
A 2-D object with five sides is called a pentagon right? What’s the same shape called in a 3-D format? That was the question at hand, and we found the answer quickly at the Interactives 3D Shapes information on the Math Interactives section.
The website is a part of the larger group that’s Annenberg Media Learner.org.
Getting back to the website, it was loaded with great information, engaging visuals and the ability to interact with the shapes with the mouse.
The website even has guides available by grade type. I found that interesting because this particular lesson of information was stated to be for grades 6-8. Interesting indeed since my son is in 3rd grade. Oh, and the answer to the earlier question? Pentagonal Prism.
