Investigate polyhedra and their nets - Platonic solids, Archimedean Solids, Prisms and Anti-Prisms, Johnson Solids, Catalan Solids, Dipyramids and Deltohedrons.

Stella (Great and Small) software
Create, visualise and print nets for polyhedra.

Kaleidotile software
Explore tessellations of the sphere, Euclidean plane and hyperbolic plane.
