3D Maths Trail

5th & 6th class has to put on their thinking caps this morning as they took part in a maths trail around the school yard with Ms MaGuire.
They had to look for different shapes in the yard.
Here is an example of the questions they were asked.....
 I have 5 flat faces = 4 faces are triangular, 1 face is square, I have 8 straight edges and I have just 5 vertices. I am a ____________?
How many examples of this 3D shape can you find in the school yard, name those examples.
Do you know what shape this is and where it is located on the yard?
