  GWB-1 "Building 3-D Solids"  
 

Student workbook (30 pages), suggested for grades: 1-3
Students build and learn to describe and draw pyramids, prisms, anti-prisms and other more complex structures.

 

 

 
     
  GWB-2 "Nets of 3-D Solids"  
 

Student workbook (28 pages), suggested for grades: 4-5
Students investigate nets that can, or cannot, be folded to form pyramids and prisms. Students strengthen visualization and spatial reasoning skills and eye-hand coordination.

 

 

 
     
  GWB-3 "Regular Solids and Tiles"  
 

Student workbook (32 pages), suggested for grades: 6-7
In the first part students follow one simple rule and discover how to construct and analyze five Platonic Solids and three regular tiles. The students practice 3-D drawing from perspective, decomposition to nets and symbolic description. They discover and verify the Euler's Equation.
In the second part students construct and explore Archimedean solids and discover the concept of truncation.

 
     
  GWB-4 "Rotation Symmetry in 3-D"  
  Student workbook (34 pages), suggested grades: 7-8
Students discover and demonstrate rotation symmetry of the Platonic solids. They discover important symmetry facts: solids look different when viewed along different symmetry axes, one solid may possess symmetry of more than one order and there are many equivalent symmetry axes. Platonic solids are well suited for these explorations - as the most symmetrical solids they give ample opportunity for repeated practice leading to the integration of the concepts.

  GWB-5 "Mirror Symmetry in 3-D"
 
 

Student workbook, suggested grades: 7-8
Students discover and demonstrate mirror symmetry of the Platonic solids and integrate the concept by ample practicing.
