Tutero's prisms lesson focuses on understanding and calculating the properties of prisms, including their volume and surface area. Students learn about different types of prisms, such as rectangular, triangular, and hexagonal prisms. Through hands-on activities and problem-solving tasks, students develop spatial awareness and the ability to apply geometric principles to practical situations.
The prisms lesson plan incorporates enabling prompts for students learning to identify prisms and calculate their volumes, along with extending prompts for those ready to tackle the calculation of surface areas and explore applications of prisms in real-world scenarios. This dual approach deepens understanding of prisms' properties and their mathematical relevance.

Tutero’s prisms exercise sheets focus on exploring the properties of different types of prisms through construction and calculation tasks. Students might build paper models of prisms or calculate the volume and surface area needed for containers. These hands-on activities not only reinforce their geometric knowledge but also illustrate the practical uses of prisms in architecture and product design.

Introduction to Prisms
Students start by exploring the basic properties of prisms, identifying different types such as rectangular and triangular prisms. They learn about the bases, faces, edges, and vertices. By Year 5, they thoroughly understand the geometric properties of various prisms and apply this knowledge to build models and solve volume and surface area problems.
Properties of Prisms
Initially focusing on identifying and comparing the properties of different prisms, students explore their geometrical attributes and how they affect the prism’s functionality. They learn about cross-sections and 3D representation. By Year 5, they apply their understanding of prisms to solve complex problems in construction and design.
Exploring Prisms Through Models
Students use physical models to explore prisms, understanding their structure and properties through hands-on activities. They build various types of prisms and explore their applications in real-world structures. By Year 5, they design and construct detailed models of prisms for projects, enhancing their understanding of geometry and structural engineering.
