With a partner students are asked to find examples of three-dimensional objects in their classroom before moving into workstations. Next show students three-dimensional shape models made from paper, foam, or wood. Students will participate in the What’s in My Bag? activity. Students have the opportunity to compose and decompose shapes.Ī book about three-dimensional shapes, Captain Invincible and the Space Shapes (or another book about three-dimensional shapes), is read to students so they can become familiar with three-dimensional shapes. Geometry is the focus of the lesson and students add to their geometry knowledge by working with three-dimensional shapes as models, on paper and in their environment.

There is only one polytope in 1 dimension, whose boundaries are the two endpoints of a line segment, represented by the empty Schläfli symbol. For example, the (three-dimensional) platonic solids tessellate the 'two'-dimensional 'surface' of the sphere. Note that an 'n'-dimensional polytope actually tessellates a space of one dimension less. Tessellations of euclidean and hyperbolic space may also be considered regular polytopes. The classical convex polytopes may be considered tessellations, or tilings, of spherical space.

The elements of a polytope can be considered according to either their own dimensionality or how many dimensions "down" they are from the body. There are no nonconvex Euclidean regular tessellations in any number of dimensions. This table shows a summary of regular polytope counts by dimension.
