The Last Days of Math Class

Here's proof:
Hoksina's stellated dodecahedron... in the works!
The last days of math class can be filled with as much learning as the rest of them!

Jaden's strategy- build it flat, then fold it into three dimensions.
"Look at this one! I can't believe there are so many vertices! I need more marshmallows!"





Folding the cuboctohedron. Squares and equilateral triangles are the
two-dimensional polygons that make up this complex polyhedron.


We also explored some "nets" of the regular polyhedrons we've been working with. 

A "net" is the "unfolded" figure of a polyhedron. So, the net for a cube looks like this:


We tried folding some nets but we ran out of time!

(Comment heard as we noticed the time: "How come math class is so short? We never get to finish with the good stuff!")
