Paper Polyhedra - in colourGerald Jenkins, Magdalen BearStart by making the Platonic Solids. These are the five fundamental regular polyhedra which lie at the heart of all three-dimensional geometry. In addition there is an information board which explains about them. Then continue by making the other ten models, each of which is related to at least one and sometimes several of the Platonic Solids. Some are true regular polyhedra whilst others are developed from them: Pentagram Polyhedron Two te...

Cross Numbers - A collection of 32 mathematical puzzlesJohn ParkerCross numbers are the mathematical equivalents of crossword puzzles. The earlier puzzles in the book only require simple arithmetic and basic knowledge, but, as the sequence continues, so the level of difficulty increases. The later ones also demand some enjoyable logical reasoning to tease out the solutions. For the final puzzles, access to a calculator would be helpful and some would say essential. Anyone who enjoys arithmetic ...
