		Math Forum: Suzanne Alejandre - Math Unit - Polyhedra ^Votes:0 --> A Math Forum Web Unit Polyhedra in the Classroom Suzanne Alejandre Tessellation Tutorials \|\| Magic Squares \|\| Suzanne's Math Lessons Portuguese Translation by Alexandra Pinheiro and Fernando Nunes As part of the Rialto Unified School District, Frisbie Middle School is using the Glencoe instructional materials to teach mathematics. The unit presented here uses the objectives found in Unit 14 of Glencoe's Interactive Mathematics , but the activities have been designed so that students can take extra time on specific mathematical ideas. This unit works well if the class can regularly go to a computer lab with Internet access and/or if the classroom has computers with Internet access.

		Pavilion of Polyhedreality ^Votes:0 The Pavilion of Polyhedreality By George W. Hart I welcome you to peek into my personal pavilion of practical polyhedra. All images are copyright by George W. Hart. This figure shows me and a tensegrity structure made from coffee stirrers and dacron thread. No two sticks actually touch each other. Note: For your maximal synesthetic enjoyment, I have chosen short musical selections to go with each picture. If your web viewer is set up to play MIDI music files , just click on any of the red notes before selecting a picture, and you can listen to a J.S. Bach piece as background music while each image is transferring. The following images are available at the moment: Nailbanger's Nightmare A simple project for all you weekend carpenters.

		Polyhedron Models ^Votes:0 Main >> Education & News >> Math Polyhedron Models Welcome to Polycell's Home Page On January 23, 2000, I finished an extensive revision of my old website on polyhedron model-making. Much new material was added, and the large single home page was split up into several smaller pages for faster downloading. This cover page is to absorb America Online Hometown frame graphics, whose presence decreases the screen area available for viewing the pictures. Maximizing your screen area will show the pictures better. Do this, then click here to continue... This trick does not work with all browsers ( e.g. , Netscape).

		Recipe cards for polyhedra ^Votes:0 Recipe cards for polyhedra This page is under construction. More cards will appear soon. The California Math Show has a polyhedron station, with big bins of snap-together plastic pieces (Polydrons, 3D Geoshapes, Googolplex). Visitors can look at posters for ideas of polyhedra to make, or use the recipe cards, or make up their own. Recipe cards These cards are printed, folded in half, laminated, and kept in a large recipe card box. The front of the card gives enough clues to build each polyhedron, but doesn't describe the shape. The back of the card has a picture of the polyhedron and some information about it. The computer icon on the Answer side of the card gives a suggestion for thinking about the polyhedron in another way, using the computer program KaleidoTile.

		Uniform Polyhedra ^Votes:0 The Uniform Polyhedra Contents Introduction About the Images on These Pages Background Information The Wythoff Symbol Geometric Properties Introduction Uniform polyhedra consist of regular faces and congruent vertices. Allowing for non-convex faces and vertex figures, there are 75 such polyhedra, as well as 2 infinite families of prisms and antiprisms. A recently discovered uniform way of computing their vertex coordinates [Harel93] is the basis for a program to display all of these solids, among which are many beautiful and stunning shapes. This text is an excerpt of Chapter 9 of R. Maeder's book The Mathematica Programmer II . An expanded version of these Web pages can also be found in the Mathematica notebook Polyhedra.ma from the Illustrated Mathematics CD-ROM. About the Images on Thes Read More Go to Site

		Virtual Reality Polyhedra ^Votes:0 Virtual Polyhedra The Encyclopedia of Polyhedra By George W. Hart Space is not a passive vacuum, but has properties that impose powerful constraints on any structure that inhabits it. ---Arthur Loeb Copyright Copyright 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000 George W. Hart Introduction Welcome to this collection of thousands of virtual reality polyhedra for you to explore. I hope you enjoy playing with them as much as I enjoyed making them. There are hundreds here which have never been illustrated in any previous publication. Polyhedra have an enormous aesthetic appeal and the subject is fun and easy to learn on one's own. One can appreciate the beauty of this image without knowing exactly what its name means --- the compound of the snub disicosidodecahedron and its dual hexagonal hexecontahedron --- Read More Go to Site
