Classroom Polyhedra Activities

I am sometimes asked for polyhedra-related construction activites whichcan be used for class projects, so I have assembled a list of ideashere. Letme know how they work out for you. If you are a teacher, I strongly recommend you try any project byyourselfor with an individual student before having the whole class do it, soyou'llunderstand the process and have a model to illustrate a possible finalresult. Certainly, the first activity is to make paperor cardboard models ofthePlatonic solids. Use either a glue or tape method of assembly. I'vewrittensome ideas and instructions, but youarebetter off with one of the books (e.g.,byWenninger) that give detailed step-by-step instructions. Hang them uponstrings---individually or as a mobile---for everyone to see. More complex paper or cardboard models are oneway to go next. Scanthroughmy Virtual Polyhedra pages for something youlike,and then figure out how to make it. Maybe try modular origami. Other media,such as pipecleaners, toothpicksand gumdrops, or toothpicks and mini-marshmallows, are only limited byyour imagination. I know of high-school classes which have madestained-glasspolyhedra and large outdoor pipe polyhedra. "Slide-togethers" are a different type of paperconstruction related topolyhedra. They are relatively fast and easy to make, and usually don'trequire glue. I have written examplesandinstructions. Here is amore recent, more detailed set of instruction. After making these in the suggested size, some classes have made thesein very large sizes, using a sheet of cardboard for each component. Tensegrity structures made of soda straws andrubber bands are anotherfun activity. I've written some detailedinstructions. Make the color-matching dissection of therhombic triacontahedron intotwenty rhombohedra. I've written some instructionsfor this beautiful but little-known model. In a wood shop or technology class, you caneasily make woodenpolyhedramodels.  Instructions are summarized here. Plastic construction sets provide faces or edgeswith which to build.Ifyou are lucky enough to have my favorite, the Zometool kit, you canmakesome really nifty structures. Some ideas and examples are shown here.The Zome Geometry bookgivesdetailed instructions. Paper models of Orderly Tanglesare more challenging than they look. There are some detailedinstructions here.
