MA.912.G.7.2 Describe the relationships between the faces, edges, and vertices of polyhedra.


Clarification :

Students will identify the net for a given polyhedron and vice versa.
Students will identify and determine the types of faces and/or the numbers of edges, faces, and vertices of a given polyhedron or a given net.
Content Limits :

Items will only include:
• The five Platonic solids (tetrahedron, hexahedron or cube, octahedron, dodecahedron, and icosahedron);
• Right or oblique prisms or pyramids with up to 12 edges on the base or composites;
• Composites of the right or oblique prisms or pyramids; and
• Other solids with fewer than 15 faces.
Items must not require use of formulas relating faces, edges, and vertices.
Items may not include cones, spheres, or cylinders.
Stimulus Attributes :

Graphics should be used for most of these items, as appropriate.
Items may be set in either real-world or mathematical contexts.
Response Attributes :
Fill-in response items may require that students provide the number of edges, faces, or vertices of a given polyhedron.
