Welcome.
It's one thing to memorize
surface area and volume formulas and use them to crunch numbers. It is
quite another thing to actually USE them to build something.
To truly learn the power of
these formulas and the beauty of the shapes they describe, we feel it
best that you build a building. Whether you are working in a geometry
class or by yourself, following the steps of this project will enhance
your understanding of this mathematics tremendously.
So come with
us on an Architectural Adventure. Follow each step below in order
and you should have a cool product at the end.
Enjoy,
