TOBLERONE BAR PUZZLE Tobleronebars are shaped like triangular prisms. How are they packaged? Hexagonal prism shape How many bars are there in the smallest package? 6
What shape results when you put 2bars together? What are the possible shapes of the base of the prism if you have 3 bars? 4 bars? 5 bars? 6 bars? Trapezoid Rhombus Irregular hexagon Equilateral triangle Parallelogram Regular hexagon Trapezoid Irregular pentagon Irregular hexagon
Teacher Tips: • Point out that the packaging is shaped like a hexagonal prism because that is the shape that requires the least amount of packaging material so it is more practical to the manufacturer. • Mention that a hexagon can be thought of as two trapezoids one of which is reflected over another. This will help the students later on visualizing the resulting figure when they do folds on their paper plate.
