Modeling with GeoGebra Augmented Reality: Project Ideas

Author:

MATH TEACHERS:

We live in a 3-dimensional world! So why restrict students' creativity to being in the (2D) coordinate plane? We can create 3D models of real-world objects within GeoGebra's 3D Graphing Calculator. We can also use GeoGebra Augmented Reality to virtually create & explore such surfaces! Below are some photos found on Twitter. We'd love to add YOURS to the list too! Can you author surface equation(s) (of the form ) that model each of the items shown below? What other solids exist for which we can create 3D mathematical models?
