When students discover relationships in something they have built themselves, they understand and remember the concepts. The carefully sequenced lessons challenge and guide students as they build a variety of models.
Questions lead students to reflect on the relationships they see in the models.
Zome Geometry introduces students to a beautiful part of geometry, gives them a chance to apply ideas they have learned in other math classes, and helps them to make interesting connections among different parts of mathematics. Extensive Teacher Support Written by George W. Hart, a mathematician and artist, and Henri Picciotto, an innovative teacher, the activities are based on a deep understanding of polyhedra and practical classroom experience. Each lesson contains blackline activity masters, teacher notes, answers, and solutions. Eight full-color images of Zome models are provided, ready for classroom display. Use Zome Geometry to supplement your geometry textbook or build an elective course around it.
