| Description: |
Poly is a shareware program for exploring and constructing polyhedra. With Poly, you can manipulate polyhedral solids on the computer in a variety of ways. Flattened versions (nets) of polyhedra may be printed and then cut out, folded, and taped, to produce three-dimensional models. |

 Teacher Review (Based on classroom experience)

What did students learn? The students learned a lot about the regular and semi-regular polyhedra. Poly also presents a two-dimensional projection known as a Schelegel diagram for each polyhedron. This allows you to view polyhedra as graphs. |
