Slice form

Hyperbolic Paraboloid Slice Forms with Two Orientations and Ellipsoid Slice Forms with Two Orientations I made slice forms of six different quadric surfaces: Hyperbolic Paraboloid aka Monkey Saddle, Ellipsoid, Hyperboloids of One Sheet, Cone, Hyperboloids of Two Sheets and Elliptic Paraboloid. This post is the first of three posts about quadric surface slice forms. This post will include the slice forms of the Hyperbolic Paraboloid and the Ellipsoid in two orientations because I think it is…

Sliceform 3D Algebraic equations that are sliced into sections and made out of paper.

I wanted to use the word polygons in the title. However, a circle is not a polygon because it does not have any straight sides. Polygons are classified by the number of sides. And I wanted to experiment with circles and polygons...so the term shapes will have to do. Results of My Slide Together Experimentation I used cardstock for all of these models. Here is the PDF of all of the models…

As a project in my Calculus course, students built sliceforms. Some of them turned out quite beautifully! Sliceforms highlight the way we can use two-dimensional cross-sections to understand and r…

Sliceform Cup and Bowl It's time to sing Auld Lang Syne. Don't ask me what the song lyrics mean because they don't really make any sense. However, traditions abound and I will celebrate with my new sliceform cup. First, I created a sliceform bowl which I then transformed into the cup. (Isn't it amazing how things evolve from one design to another.) I have included instructions for both templates of a sliceform bowl and the cup. I used a good quality cardstock as the slices need to be exact…
