Number of pieces of this exercise

5

General description

Each platonic solid can be constructed through the union of a certain number of equal geometric figures. The connection between the various elements will be made through comb joints.

Number of pieces of which the model is composed:

1) Tetrahedron – 4 equilateral triangles.
2) Hexahedral – 6 squares.
3) Octahedron – 8 equilateral triangles.
4) Dodecahedron – 12 pentagons.
5) Icosahedron – 20 equilateral triangles.

Suitable dimensions for its use in the classroom (mm):

1) Tetrahedron – 1 equilateral triangle 60x60x60 mm.
2) Hexahedral – 1 square 60x60x60 mm.
3) Octahedron – 1 triangle 60x60x60 mm.
4) Dodecahedron – 1 60 mm base pentagon.
5) Icosahedron – 1 triangle 60x60x60 mm.
