Students in the regular Geometry class build a total of 6 solids from patterns they select. From the patterns, students can simply cut, fold and glue, OR transfer them to sturdier material like poster board or manila folders, enlarge or shrink them, build extra solids, and decorate. Students are then required to present them to the class by describing each one of their solids. They have to give the correct name and talk about their base, lateral faces, vertices, etcetera. Ideas for their special solids are found in posters, models and other reading materials provided or are researched on their own.
Students then present their polyhedra.
You need to include the following information when describing each solid. Be sure to write this information down, preferably on note cards, before the presentation. I. Give the NAME of the solid. Describe the significance of the name. Is the solid an extra.
