Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Write an original word problem for each of 12 math topics, including area, volume, fractions, and geometry.
Solve a peer-created problem for each of the 12 topics and record the work.
Assemble a set of twelve separate dodecahedron faces into a 3D shape by cutting, folding, and gluing.
Teaching tips
Have students use a glue stick or tape to assemble the dodecahedron one piece at a time; the file notes students found tape easier and less messy than glue.
Display finished dodecahedrons by hanging them from the classroom or hallway ceiling once grading is complete.
Score the project with the included 4-category rubric rather than a single overall grade, since appearance, accuracy, completeness, and creativity are scored separately.
Skills covered
Cross-topic math problem writing — students compose an original problem for each of 12 distinct math topics, from area and volume to fractions and place value.
Peer problem-solving — in the partner version, students solve problems a classmate wrote and check their work against an answer/record sheet.
3D shape construction — students cut, fold, and glue a set of twelve separate faces into a physical dodecahedron.
Good to know
Questions teachers ask about this resource
What is the difference between the two included versions of the dodecahedron?
The partner-exchange version has each student create problems only, then trade dice with a classmate and solve each other's problems using a shared answer/record sheet, while the solo version has each student both create and solve every problem on their own dodecahedron, showing their work directly on each face.
