“Build it and See” A 3D Modeling and Printing Exercise in Geometry
by Karen Larsen
This hands-on lesson helps students understand the properties of 3D solids from their 2D base shapes and teaches them how to use CAD software to build their own 3D models of real-world objects by breaking them down into basic solids or shapes.
