These Eigen publications booklets focus on the construction of three-dimensional shapes and dissection problems involving two-dimensional shapes.
* The tetrahedron covers a variety of ways of constructing tetrahedrons.
* The octahedron demonstrates a variety of ways of constructing an octahedron.
* Limping seagulls shows an origami construction that can be used as a basic building block to make mathematical solids.
* Cube dissections contains 17 simple nets which can be combined in various ways to make a cube.
* The rectangle provides activities based on dissection of a rectangle to help explore its properties.
* Tangram activities uses the standard ancient Chinese 7-piece tangram to help establish geometrical ideas mainly related to angle.
* Three-piece dissections includes a range of three-piece dissections of simple mathematical shapes which are deceptively challenging.
The booklets are largely independent of each other.
