POLYHEDRON ORIGAMI PROJECT

Hello Student,

Polyhedron: A solid figure with many planes faces, typically more than six faces.

In this project, you will be making a polyhedron of your own for your math class.

Related areas: Algebra and Geometry

The objective:

-- Determining patterns between size of the polyhedron and number of figures
-- Determine the surface area of the polyhedron
-- Increasing skill set for 3D figure making.
-- Increasing to work independently
-- Increasing to work with others.

In this project must complete the followings along with the shape: 

1. Find the total surface area of the shape.
2. Find if there is a relationship between the number of figures and size of the shape.
3. Make a table for a number of figures for a small (Diameter 5 inches), medium (Diameter 10 inches), and large size (Diameter 15 inches) of the shape.  Plug the table data into the calculator and find the trend line.  HINT: Linear, quadratic trends.

For the Plot:  'x' would be the diameter and 'y' would be a number of figures.

Materials: 
1. Colorful Construction Papers
2. Scissors

This project is due on December 14, 2017, Thursday.

Grading:
1 grade for the shape
1 grade for the table and trend line

All the projects will be displayed in the math classroom.
