Subject: Geometry attributes

I'm a teaching assistant in a grade 4-6 class and work with children with
behavior and learning difficulties. The class is currently working on
geometry, specifically 3D shapes and their attributes.

The teacher says a face is a base but a base is not a face. With a
square/rectangular or cube prism, the base and face is easily explained but
not so a triangular prism. What is the difference between a base and a face
on the shapes?
