The world is full of obvious things, which nobody by any chance ever observes.

Why do architectural structures use triangles in their anatomy? And why are honeycombs hexagonal? When choosing a fair dice, would gamers pick a 5-sided or a 6-sided one? What can you possibly make with matchsticks and some plasticine?
Delve into the world of dimensions from 2D to 3D, as you discover answers to real world questions. Recognize the simplicity behind seemingly complex mathematical concepts by engaging in exploratory and hands-on activities. And find out how and why polygons and polyhedrons pervade our environment – from forms in nature, to architecture, to their use in mathematical 3D modelling.
Explore through activities. Apply concepts creatively. And internalize through implementation.
