Geometric nets provide many hours of fascinating fun! Each net represents the surface of a unique geometric shape. Some of the shapes were described as much as 2500 years ago.A geometric net is a flat drawing that can be cut and folded into a three dimensional figure. For example, six identical squares can be made into a cube. This is because a cube has six sides, all of which are identical squares. Each of the drawings in this book can be cut and folded into a three dimensional geometric object.This book contains 253 geometric nets, a few of which are:Bielongated Triangular AntiprismConeCubeCuboctahedronCylinderDecagonal AntiprismDecagonal PrismDeltoidal IcositetrahedronDieDisdyakis DodecahedronDodecahedron, RegularElongated Pentagonal BipyramidElongated Pentagonal CupolaElongated Pentagonal PyramidElongated Square BipyramidElongated Square PyramidElongated Triangular AntiprismElongated Triangular BipyramidElongated Triangular CupolaElongated Triangular PyramidFrustum of a Decagon PyramidFrustum of a Quadrilateral PyramidFrustum of a Triangular PyramidGreat DodecahedronGreat Stellated DodecahedronGyroelongated Pentagonal PyramidGyroelongated Square BipyramidGyroelongated Square PrismGyroelongated Square PyramidHeptagonal PyramidHeptahedron 4,4,4,3,3,3,3Heptahedron 5,5,5,4,4,4,3Heptahedron 6,6,4,4,4,3,3Hexagonal PrismHexagonal PyramidHexahedron 4,4,4,4,3,3Hexahedron 5,4,4,3,3,3Hexahedron 5,5,4,4,3,3Icosahedron, RegularIcosidodecahedronOblique Square PyramidOctagonal AntiprismOctahedron, RegularPentagonal AntiprismPentagonal BipyramidPentagonal CupolaPentagonal PrismPentagonal PyramidPentagonal RotundaPentagrammic PrismRectangular PyramidRhombic PrismRhombicuboctahedronRight Pentagonal Star PyramidSmall RhombidodecahedronSmall Stellated DodecahedronSnub CubeSnub DodecahedronSquare AntiprismSquare CupolaSquare PyramidSquare TrapezohedronStellated OctahedronTetrahedron - RegularTetrakis HexahedronTriakis OctahedronTriakis TetrahedronTriangular BipyramidTriangular CupolaTriangular PentahedronTriangular PrismTriangular Pyramid, ObliqueTruncated CubeTruncated CuboctahedronTruncated DodecahedronTruncated IcosahedronTruncated IcosidodecahedronTruncated OctahedronTruncated Square TrapezohedronTruncated Tetrahedron

Nilajah broke her pretty brown doll. Will a pink doll be as much fun? Nilajah's Dolls explores the effects of Black girls playing with non-Black dolls. By showing the physical and cultural effects of euro-worship, this book encourages self-esteem and racial pride in young Black girls. Nilajah's Dolls reminds parents to consider the effects of buying certain toys for their children.Angela Freeman's "Nilajah Series" is centered on the dynamics of a loving Black family. By exploring the relationship between family members, many topics facing the Black community are addressed in age-appropriate ways. This series is designed to combat the degeneracy and myths of inferiority that Black children are inundated with daily through mainstream media outlets. As with all Angela Freeman Books, this is made for adults and children to read together. Doing so encourages dialogue between the generations. Children tend to ask many questions during and after reading this book. Make the most of their questions by encouraging them to think critically to find answers.
