Author Description

Here is a wonderful new tool for finding patterns in shapes, number, and color; studying polyhedra and their nets; improving spatial visualization; and analyzing perspective and shadow. Using these 40 hands-on Frameworks activities in geometry and visual thinking, students explore mathematical patterns and relationships. Each student builds a polyhedron, and puts on separate file cards four clues that progressively describe it. They then exchange cards and try to identify their classmate's polyhedra!
