Description

Polyhedra allow geometric shapes in the plane to change into solids in our three-dimensional world. Tessellations in which individual tiles are lifelike motifs are a fun combination of art and mathematics. Designing and Building Tessellated Polyhedra brings these two fascinating topics together a for hands-on learning experience wealthy in math content. Nets for 24 different polyhedra, including all the Platonic and Archimedean solids, are presented both with and without tessellations applied to them. This allows polyhedra to be built with able-made designs that may be colored if desired, or printed in beautiful color the usage of the included CD. Another choice is building undecorated polyhedra that have the names and key properties printed on them. Yet any other possibility is to make use of templates to design new tessellations that may be applied to the polyhedra. The book also comprises background on polyhedra and templates for tessellated cones, cylinders, and Mbius strips. For classroom use, ten activities with worksheets, designed to address ten different specific Common Core State Standards for Mathematics are included as well. Ages 12-17
