Abstract
We demonstrate a simple way of building models for a large family of polyhedra. In the workshop, we will build such models using special precut shapes, but the method can be used with many common materials (wood, paper, plastic, wire, etc.) or even recycled objects, making it very suitable for a mathematical art project and/or a class activity.
