[[[>55 IMG:Dodecahedron.JPG ]]] We are going to make a pentagon. By making twelve such pentagons you can construct a dodecahedron like the one in the picture. For each pentagon, you will need a piece of A4 paper and then follow the instructions below. IMG:Dod1.png * Fold the paper in half both ways to find the centre O. * Fold along the red line so A touches O. * Fold B to O similarly. * Fold C and D to O. * Next fold along PQ. IMG:Dod2.png * As the two halves come together, tuck the two inside flaps behind one another to make 'pockets (see diagram below)'. * Fold R and S up to the centre line, so that they meet to form a straight line and make a pentagon. IMG:Dod3.png If you make 12 pentagons in this way and assemble them, using your 'flaps' and 'pockets', you can make a dodecahedron.
