The students in Math Club built 3D shapes (polyhedrons) with glowsticks and Styrofoam balls. Individually they built pyramids and cubes. In groups they were challenged to make a 3D shape with pentagons for sides, which is called a dodecahedron. This was quite the challenge. Afterward, Math Club had free time to explore what else they could build with their teams. We ended our club session with building pentagonal prisms that the students took home. Geometry and engineering can be fun!
