Shape shifters: building 3D shapes and exploring Platonic Solids
Age suitable for: Pre-school
Get hands-on with geometry! In this activity you will build models of 3D shapes called Platonic solids. You will construct 3D versions of the tetrahedron, cube, octahedron, dodecahedron, and icosahedron.
Through modelling and creating the 3D shapes, you will gain an intuitive understanding of 3D geometry while sharpening your spatial reasoning skills.
Unlock the secrets of these interesting shapes that have fascinated mathematicians for millennia.
Now put on your geometry hat - it's time to build and shape shift into 3D!
