Description

Get kids excited about science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics (STEAM) with this fun hands-on collaborative project. Typically done during a Family Math Night event, this project can also be done in the classroom. The best part is, each person is individually represented in the final product!

Participants will learn how a soccer ball design is based on a truncated icosahedron through an introduction to 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional geometry. They will create one of the panels of the truncated icosahedron which will be used to construct the collaborative soccer ball.

Final product has a diameter of 13".

Included in the lesson plan:

• list of materials needed

• mathematical background

• mathematical vocabulary

• table tent with step-by-step directions

• pentagon template

• hexagon template

• icosahedron net

• classroom engineering challenge

• link to the video version of the lesson

CCSSK.G.A.1

Describe objects in the environment using names of shapes, and describe the relative positions of these objects using terms such as above, below, beside, in front of, behind, and next to.

CCSSK.G.A.2

Correctly name shapes regardless of their orientations or overall size.

CCSSK.G.A.3

Identify shapes as two-dimensional (lying in a plane, “flat”) or three-dimensional (“solid”).

CCSSK.G.B.4

Analyze and compare two- and three-dimensional shapes, in different sizes and orientations, using informal language to describe their similarities, differences, parts (e.g., number of sides and vertices/“corners”) and other attributes (e.g., having sides of equal length).

CCSS1.G.A.1

Distinguish between defining attributes (e.g., triangles are closed and three-sided) versus non-defining attributes (e.g., color, orientation, overall size); build and draw shapes to possess defining attributes.
