Polyhedrists in the Making - In December 2004, I was contacted by Iwona Zbyszynska, a math teacher from Gimmnazjum School no. 23 in Bydgoszcz, Poland, with a request to provide some educational resources for her pupils. They were working with tessellations and polyhedra as part of a Comenius School Project "Mathematics In Our Life," an international graphics competition for pupils from Poland, Portugal, Czech, Romania and Solvenia.  I provided PDF files of tessellation examples and polyhedra nets of my work, which I thought would make a good starting point for young students interested in these topics. Some of the examples of the work that Iwona's pupils have done are posted at the Gimmnazjum School no. 23 website.
