Hi,
A hexagonal prism is a solid object with congruent hexagons on the top and bottom and the sides parallelograms or rectangles. An example that you probably have is a pencil, they are usually yellow.
Some pencils have a circular cross-section, these are examples of cylinders. Honeycomb is made of hexagonal prisms all packed together.
A pup tent is a triangular prism.
My favorite example of a triangular prism is a Toblerone chocolate bar.
A cardboard box is a rectangular prism, and if the base is square it is a square prism.
Looking around to see what shapes you have in your home. A roll of paper towels is a cylinder, a baseball is a sphere, a can of soup is a cylinder, maybe you have a candy dish that is a hemisphere. Inside your refrigerator door there might be indentations to hold eggs. These indentations are probably hemispheres. Some coffee filters are shaped like cones.
I hope this helps,
Penny
