Tetradyron - A special 3D shape

Explore the world of shapes

 

We all have taught our children about shapes. Square,rectangle and a pointy triangle, then there comes 3D shapes; cube, cone and sphere.

But have we thought of combining these shapes to make more shapes or designs?

I'm gonna tell you very craft way of combining a "simple shape" and make it into a "3D shape".

Let's get those two point in bold. Simple shape is triangle and the 3D shape is a tetrahedron.

 

Hmm, pretty clear to me, you tell me how helpful it was?

Making the tetrahedron is so fun that we had it as an activity in our game night for the homeschooling kids.

Lots of tetrahedrons

First name that comes in the mind is, its a "pyramid".

And its true!

The tetrahedron is one kind of pyramid, with a flat triangle base and triangular faces connecting to a common point.

 A tetrahedron is also known as a "triangular pyramid". 

A combination of tetrahedron is called a Sierpinski triangle

Do you want to conduct such activity at home or for a geometry class?
