1/31 Test of Ch 9: Area!

Polyhedra

Polyhedra are 3D solids made of polygons. We are focussing particularly on polyhedra made of regular polygons. You should be able to determine information about them without actually building and counting. Every day there is a handout so the homework is to work your way through the packet.

1/10 Nets and Regular Polyhedra
1/11 Semi-Regular Prisms and Anti-Prisms
1/12 Half Day B A G F (no class)
1/13 Archimedean Solids (the rest of the semi-regular polyhedra)

1/16 Martin Luther King Day
1/17 Summary and Duals
1/18 Review of Polyhedra
1/19 Start Area

1/24 Test of Polyhedra

Tessellations

Tessellations are a fun way to put together what we have learned about transformations with triangles and quadrilaterals (among other shapes).
