  • Presentation 214, Otterson, Shapes in Shapes.pdf (1.3 MB)

  • Starting with triangles, squares, and circles, fit shapes inside of other shapes and compare relative side lengths and areas. You will build a clever unit tetrahedron out of small envelopes without needing to know any origami. Then participants at each table will put the tetrahedrons together to build their very own stella octangula.
