Origami Geometry Activity

• Fold a star-building unit, – compare areas of polygons, – identify different kinds of triangles and the measures 

of their angles, and to explore rotational symmetry. 

• A star-building unit (SBU) is used to build many different kinds of polyhedrons. – Triangular hexahedron requires 3 star-building units. – Cube requires 6 SBU, – Stellated octahedron requires 12 SBU and – Stellated icosahedrons requires 30 SBU’s
