Notes:

Instead of the cut and stick, copy into your red book and either draw or label into the diagram.

 

If you are unsure of any key vocabulary, remember (in simple terms):

Vertices (corners)

Prism (a shape which when cut will give the same shapes like a cuboid)

Reflex angle (over 180 degrees)

Parallel (two lines will never meet, think train tracks)

 

You could use MyMaths online lessons to review your shape knowledge if you are still unsure.
