The 3-D shape activities in the Mathomat Explorer series involve students in understanding the Platonic and Archimedean solids. These are some of the simplest solid figures, they have fascinated generations of people since ancient times. Engaging with these activities using Mathomat reinforces basic geometric knowledge. It increases student skills in geometric construction. There are powerful connections between these activities and the historical role of geometry in art as well as in the mathematics curriculum. The Mathomat Activity Centre has many wonderful examples of geometric figures that can be made using Mathomat.
These activities use Mathomat to explore patterns in 3-D space that have fascinated people since ancient times. We construct them and explore their properties.
