Magna-Tiles Hexagonal Pyramid

Visualize what this Shape looks like as a flat pattern:

Magna-Tiles Hexagon

This Magna-Tiles Shape is a Hexagon! It is a six sided polygon.

This is a REGULAR hexagon because all of the sides are equal and angles are equal! If all of the sides are not the same length and the angles are not equal, we would call it a IRREGULAR hexagon.

This Shape reminds us of a pizza! Make a #magnatiles pizza pie! Pieces Needed:

• 6 Equilateral Triangles

Magna-Tiles Octagon

Where else can we find Octagonal Shapes?

Magna-Tiles Triangles

Magna-Tiles Cube

Children love to make the geometric shape of a Cube with Magna-Tiles! A Cube has Six Square Faces.

Magna-Tiles Triangular Prism

A Triangular Prism is a three-sided Prism

Magna-Tiles Tetrahedron

A Tetrahedron is a 3-D Geometric Solid that has Four Triangular Faces, Six Edges, and Four Vertices.

The Tetrahedron is one kind of Pyramid. The base is a triangle (any of the four faces can be considered the base) so a a tetrehedron is also known as a Triangular Pyramid. Remember that Pyramids are named after the shape of their base!

To make it with Magna-Tiles, you will need four Equilateral Triangles. Below is the flat, 2-D Net. All 4 Faces are Equilateral Triangles! Visualize what the shape will look like if we “fold” the 3 triangles around the base up… and then make it with Magna-Tiles!

Here is an example of the Shape of a Tetrahedron In Real Life!

Magna-Tiles Isosceles Triangle

A Triangle has Three Sides and Three Angles!

If a Triangle has Two Equal Sides and Two Equal Angles, we call it an Isosceles Triangle!

Magna-Tiles Square Pyramid

Magna-Tiles Square

We can make a Square with 4 Right Triangles
