Math Fun With Zome









Math can be fun, and it can be made even more enjoyable when


elegant mathematical facts are made tangible via concrete models.


Zome Systems --- a polyhedral building kit based on the geometry


of the dodecahedron/icosahedron pair --- can provide many hours


of fun-filled math edutainment.


In this blog, we hope to help to share some of the insights we


have gained over the last few years in the form of easy to


consume byte-sized capsules.


For an in-depth review of many of these facts, see
