Subject: Re: Triangular prisms

My first thought is that your students could construct the triangular prisms.
I did a similar exercise with rectangular prisms which you can see here:

I realize that constructing triangles is a little trickier....but....if you
didn't want them to construct them, you could give them a template. A fun
twist would be to have one group measure the other group's prisms.

I hope that helps.
