Dodecahedron, Pedagogically Stretched

thingiverse

*D is for Dodecahedron* Students can now create their own dodecahedron models and explore mathematical concepts like embedded cubes with ease. To delve into the math, you'll need a long elastic cord, similar to those used for name badges, 20 vertices, and 30 edges. The inner edges of the connectors are trimmed for easy assembly. **Components Included** 1. Edges in various lengths, each uniquely identified to prevent mix-ups. 2. Two distinct versions of the vertex. Assemble your dodecahedron by pressing vertices against a hard surface or using pliers. If disassembly proves challenging, try using a loose vertex or increasing the printing resolution. **Resource Links** 1. http://www.froebelweb.org/web7000.html 2. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dodecahedron
