Then provide students an opportunity to bring their learning to life by creating on Tinkercad … providing a 3D view which can be sent to a 3-D printer if available. Throughout the process, students need to figure out the angle between each of their rotational symmetry chunks, which teaches them about fractions, place value system, etc
