In the style of Da Vinci's polyhedra model drawings from Pacioli's Divine Proportion book, I inscribed more polyhedra in this blog posting. I think these are excellent models for students to explore the concept of stellating and truncating Platonic solids.
The top row is the original Platonic solid with their truncated solid inside.
The bottom row is a stellated Platonic solid with their original Platonic solid inside.
From left to right in both columns, the models are a tetrahedron, cube, octahedron, dodecahedron and icosahedron.
Here is the PDF. I used 65 lb. cardstock to make the models.
Here is the .Studio file.
Here is the SVG.

Thank you! It's fantastic!
