This hands on project has been a staple in my classroom for over a decade. Its a really nice way to help kids see the connection between math concepts and actual three dimensional figures.

A Classroom Must Have
This thing is a BEAST! Quick, Durable and Reliable. Awesome for the classroom (No more listening to kids whine about the pencil sharpener not sharpening) or at home.
As of this writing, the sharpener is around $25 on sale on Amazon. I use it in my classroom and it is easily one of my best investments for the money.

Math Puzzles
Hands on. Problem solving. Student engagement.
These are just a few of the reasons why I'm such a huge fan of using puzzles in math class. The act of having students cut and tape while solving math problems totally changes the dynamic of a lesson.
Anytime students (or adults for that matter) can experience a sense of accomplishment it has a positive impact on their attitude.
A missed problem on a worksheet is just a missed problem. A missed problem on a puzzle means the whole puzzle is messed up. The act of making these corrections leads to a deeper understanding of the topic.
