Form, Shape and Space: an Exhibition of Tilings and Polyhedra
This resource is a teacher booklet that discusses how symmetry is possibly the most significant and elegant connection that transcends the boundaries between art, science and mathematics. It surrounds us in the natural and artistic world, particularly in Islamic art, and in formations made with polygons and the Platonic solids. In the booklet there are activities with instructions for students to make symmetrical shapes with a pair of compasses and paper folding to make polygons, tiling patterns and polyhedral from nets.
