This is a hands on lesson best used to introduce geometry students to 3-dimensional figures. Students will have the opportunity to draw 3-dimensionally and create collapsible figures which can be used to develop the standard surface area formulas.
Students will review the names of 3 dimensional shapes, create the shapes using marshmallows and toothpicks, and find relationships among the faces, vertices, and edges of different 3-D polyhedra.
In this project, students will become entrepreneurs. They will have a business that makes items with 3-Dimensional shapes. They will receive various tasks that will require that they make decisions as any other business owner would have to do.
