  • Abstract
    The purpose of this paper is to share the experience of teaching (first author) and learning (second and third authors) basic group theory, as well as other mathematics relevant to the study of symmetry, through building models of polyhedra. An effective and engaging teaching strategy for a first course in abstract algebra is outlined.
