Most people have heard about the Platonic solids, but did you know that there are 13 solids that were extensively discussed and analyzed by Archimedes.
An Archimedean solid is a highly symmetric,... More > semi-regular convex polyhedron composed of two or more types of regular polygons meeting in identical vertices.
This set of blackline masters contains all 13 of these solids:
truncated tetrahedron
cuboctahedron
truncated cube
truncated octahedron
rhombicuboctahedron
truncated cuboctahedron
snub cube
icosidodecahedron
truncated dodecahedron
truncated icosahedron
rhombicosidodecahedron
truncated icosidodecahedron
snub dodecahedron
The truncated models are particularly challenging and provide hours of learning experiences, with plenty of room for mathematical discussions.< Less
The Platonic solids have been known since antiquity. The aesthetic beauty and symmetry of the Platonic solids have made them a favorite subject of geometers for thousands of years. They are named for... More > the ancient Greek philosopher Plato who theorized the classical elements were constructed from the regular solids.
Children love to make these shapes, which are also fun to decorate. In these black line masters, you will receive two sets of all five models. One set is printed as black and white, allowing the students to color the faces, while the second set has the sides pre-colored.
These models are ready to cut out and glue together.< Less
Help your students develop geometric reasoning and thinking using an inquiry based approach. Using today's technology students can explore geometric ideas. The book covers all the topics in a... More > traditional geometry class. Students use the TI-83/TI-84 with the application Cabri Jr. to investigate concepts (Cabri Jr. Application is standard on the TI calculators). 40 reproducible lessons are designed to encourage exploration and group work, as they formulate their own ideas and come up with their own conjectures.

The Kepler-Poinsot polyhedra are also known as the regular star polyhedra. Each one of these shapes has faces which are congruent regular convex polygons or star polygons and has the same number of... More > faces meeting at each vertex.
Challenge your students by having them construct two of these 3D models; the great dodecahedron, and the great icosahedron.< Less
24 activities allow your students to explore traditional geometric constructions using only a compass and a straight edge. Students are guided through the concrete construction to the abstract with... More > the use of Cabri Jr. for the TI-83/TI-84 calculator. Each lesson is designed to engage students in group activities and analysis of concepts. Open ended questions are included with each lesson to encourage higher level thinking skills.< Less
Daniel Bunchanan is serving life in prison with no chance of parole. Trying to pick up the pieces of his broken life, he attempts to make amends to his girlfriend and the mother of his child who he... More > has never even so much as held.
Through flashbacks and the only letter he's ever written, Danny retraces his footsteps through the last several years and the downward spiral that he dragged Vlada down as well in one final attempt to make everything right for the girl whose life he believes he ruined.
It is of utmost importance that you pay attention to the dates on the letters and the dates of the chapters that are not letters, because they will not necessarily be in order.< Less
