Author Description

<p>Geometric nets provide many hours of fascinating fun! Each net represents the surface of a unique geometric shape. Some of the shapes were described as much as 2500 years ago.</p> <p>A geometric net is a flat drawing that can be cut and folded into a three dimensional figure. For example, six identical squares can be made into a cube. This is because a cube has six sides, all of which are identical squares. Each of the drawings in this book can be cut and folded into a three dimensional geometric object.</p> <p>This book contains 253 geometric nets, a few of which are:</p> <ul> <li>Bielongated Triangular Antiprism</li> <li>Cone</li> <li>Cube</li> <li>Cuboctahedron</li> <li>Cylinder</li> <li>Decagonal Antiprism</li> <li>Decagonal Prism</li> <li>Deltoidal Icositetrahedron</li> <li>Die</li> <li>Disdyakis Dodecahedron</li> <li>Dodecahedron, Regular</li> <li>Elongated Pentagonal Bipyramid</li> <li>Elongated Pentagonal Cupola</li> <li>Elongated Pentagonal Pyramid</li> <li>Elongated Square Bipyramid</li> <li>Elongated Square Pyramid</li> <li>Elongated Triangular Antiprism</li> <li>Elongated Triangular Bipyramid</li> <li>Elongated Triangular Cupola</li> <li>Elongated Triangular Pyramid</li> <li>Frustum of a Decagon Pyramid</li> <li>Frustum of a Quadrilateral Pyramid</li> <li>Frustum of a Triangular Pyramid</li> <li>Great Dodecahedron</li> <li>Great Stellated Dodecahedron</li> <li>Gyroelongated Pentagonal Pyramid</li> <li>Gyroelongated Square Bipyramid</li> <li>Gyroelongated Square Prism</li> <li>Gyroelongated Square Pyramid</li> <li>Heptagonal Pyramid</li> <li>Heptahedron 4,4,4,3,3,3,3</li> <li>Heptahedron 5,5,5,4,4,4,3</li> <li>Heptahedron 6,6,4,4,4,3,3</li> <li>Hexagonal Prism</li> <li>Hexagonal Pyramid</li> <li>Hexahedron 4,4,4,4,3,3</li> <li>Hexahedron 5,4,4,3,3,3</li> <li>Hexahedron 5,5,4,4,3,3</li> <li>Icosahedron, Regular</li> <li>Icosidodecahedron</li> <li>Oblique Square Pyramid</li> <li>Octagonal Antiprism</li> <li>Octahedron, Regular</li> <li>Pentagonal Antipri
