Making 3D Shapes

By using Ellison die-cutting machine you can cut regular polygons with tabs on them out of folders. Your students can investigate polyhedra by assembling them with rubber bands or glue. They can put together regular polyhedra, semi-regular polyhedra and others. The models can also be used to display photographs.
