Stellated dodecahedrons!

Stellated dodecahedrons!
Hello there. I seem to be stuck in a geometric-paper-model rut at the moment! I promise this will be the last one for a while! (I have just white-washed a lot of the walls in our home so I have been looking to make some colourful objects to hang up…these are just the job). Making stellated dodecahedrons is fairly time consuming and requires a light-touch and a fair bit of patience…so teenagers/adults only! As usual there is a how-to below…along with printable templates. It’s ‘summer’ here in the UK but it hasn’t stopped raining for months (or so it seems). You will need – – – – – – – – // Scissors // Paper (or thin card) // Double sided tape (I also made one using a gluestick but the tape yielded much better results) // Ruler // Needle…or similar sharp point for scoring the paper 1. 2. 3&4. 5&6. *If you run into problems then do leave a comment below and I will get back to you ASAP* Related:  caroumbert

Posté par: Natalia Derivation of the formula for the area of a circle This page describes how to derive the formula for the area of a circle. we start with a regular polygon and show that as the number of sides gets very large, the figure becomes a circle. By finding the area of the polygon we derive the equation for the area of a circle. Try this. In the applet below we have a six-sided regular polygon. Keep clicking on 'more' and note that as the number of sides gets larger, the polygon approaches being a circle. As the number of sides becomes infinitely large, it is, in fact, a circle. The polygon can be broken down into n isosceles triangles (where n is the number of sides), such as the one shown on the right. In this triangle s is the side length of the polygon r is the radius of the polygon and the circleh is the height of the triangle. The area of the triangle is half the base times height or There are n triangles in the polygon so This can be rearranged to be The term ns is the perimeter of the polygon (length of a side, times the number of sides).

Dump A Day Do It Yourself Craft Ideas - 39 Pics Sources – Veetje – Saifou – Pinterest – DumpaDay Dumpaday's Funny T-Shirts» Pi Day Inspired String Art Activity Ah, good old Pi Day. That special holiday only celebrated by geeky math and pizza lovers. It's definitely my kind of holiday! Pi Day String Art Actvitiy This post contains affiliate links. Let's Make some Pi Day String Art! First, I grabbed a super cheap white paper plate. I took my favorite liquid watercolors and painted circular designs around my paper plate, even painting around the paper plate's circumference. Then, I used Sharpie markers to write the digits 0-9 evenly spaced around my inner cut out circle. Then, I hole punched over each digit. And then, I grabbed some yarn and proceeded to create a string art pattern, guided only by my love for crafting and the digits of Pi! (Note: I got pretty far when digits repeated. I also ended up taping a pi symbol to my artwork so other people would have some inkling of what I was trying to represent. I hope you have a fun time trying out this activity with your older kiddos. Let's Keep in Contact!

Generador de nube de palabras y creador de nubes de etiquetas gratis y online - NubeDePalabras.es Beads and Crystals Ring This delicate beaded ring is made using the same stitch as the peyote rings, bracelets, and beads that we’ve posted before. This project is all about how changing up the beads used can make a huge impact on the look of the finished ring. Supplies: - 3mm fire polished Czech crystals - 8/0 seed beads - 11/0 seed beads - 11/0 cylinder beads - beading needle - beading thread (I used Nymo 00) You can make this ring as tall as you want, but I found 7 crystals to be a nice size. From this point on, I’ll refer to the 3mm crystals as “crystals,” the 8/0 seed beads as “large,”, the 11/0 seed beads as “medium,” and the 11/0 cylinders as “small.” Want more information about seed bead sizes, shapes and finishes? You should be well versed in peyote stitch before trying this project, if you’re new to the technique you might want to try out the Beaded Rings project first – it has full how-to instructions to help you get the hang of peyote! Add another small bead and stitch through a medium bead.
