A cool activity for making a giant mathematical construction by assembling cardboard components.
Here’s a design for a giant cardboard construction. It is a tricky geometric puzzle requiring lots of problem-solving. So don’t expect to be done in just an hour or so. But when complete, it is very impressive.
A saw is the easiest way to cut the parts out of cardboard, so some folks old enough to use a saw need to be involved. The template is on the web page and the video illustrates the assembly technique.
