Kickin' It With Solids is an activity allows students the opportunity to make a personalized truncatated icosahedron (soccer ball shape). Included are step-by-step instructions, as well as tabbed templates of the required faces. This is a great hands-on math activity to expose students to the construction of polyhedrons, in this case an Archimedian solid. They see first-hand how the angles and edges of each shape coincide to creat a 3D solid. Students also personalize their soccer balls in a

This powerpoint introduces students to the concepts of variables and equations and includes examples of writing equations from literal statements. This powerpoint goes along with the Using Variables Note-Taking Guide on Too Mathy's account.
