0506.4.2	Polygon Area - Find the area of a convex polygon by decomposing it into triangles/rectangles.
0506.4.3	Prisms - Build, draw, and work with prisms by means of orthogonal views, projective views, and nets.
0506.4.4	Platonic Solids - Describe and identify the five regular (Platonic) solids and their properties with respect to faces, shapes of faces, edges, and vertices.
0506.4.5	Filling Space - Quantify total volume as filling space with same-sized units of volume without gaps or overlap.
0506.4.6	Surface Area - Decompose prisms to calculate surface area and volume.
0506.4.7	Appropriate Units - Understand, select and use units of appropriate size and type to measure angles, lengths/distances, area, surface area and volume.
