01: I began by creating a UV sphere and then changing the segments to 12 and the rings to 6. I then went into edit mode and B box selcte the top hald and deleted it and did the same to the bottom half of the sphere

04: I then created a basic cube to try the bevel modify on it, the bevel modfy basically added a bevel to the edges of the square.
Here is my final model:
