Polyhedron Teacher Resources

Students identify different parts of a prism and polyhedra. For this geometry lesson, students identify the number of faces, edges and sides of polygons. They solve problems by recognizing patterns.

Learners explore geometry by completing a math worksheet in class. In this shape identification lesson, students identify the characteristics associated with 15 solid geometric shapes. Learners identify patterns between vertices, edges...

Students explore geometry by participating in a shape rotation experiment. In this symmetry lesson, students identify the term symmetry and a list of other geometry vocabulary. Students analyze shapes as they are turned 90 degrees and...

Fifth graders participate in a class activity that helps them learn some geometric terms along with their definitions. They describe relationships between two and three-dimensional shapes and analyze attributes and properties of...

Introduces the concept of polyhedrons by learning the definition, types, and where they are found. Check-out the solved examples for better understanding and try your hand at solving a few interactive questions at the end of the page.

This is a detailed site with numerous links related to polyhedrons, the site explains the term polyhedron in terms of geometry and algebraic topology it briefly discusses special polyhedrons which link to other Math World sites which...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] This concept teaches students about polyhedrons, Euler's Theorem, and regular polyhedrons.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Apply Euler's Theorem.

Students are given instructions on how to construct a paper, uniform polyhedron in the shape of a star ball. Animation is used to show the steps to make the star ball. There are also additional modules for other shapes and discussion...

Students learn about the terminology and formulas associated with polyhedrons. The learning resource consists of definitions, images, and examples.

The polyhedron is defined and illustrated. Links provided for related terms, everyday examples, challenging problems, more information. There is also an interactive checkpoint involving polyhedrons.

This site defines a convex polyhedron in terms of vectors and matrices. A table of examples, as well as an illustration, are given. This site has numerous links to related Math World sites.

Use this tool to see animated models of over 100 different types of polyhedra. There are five options for how they appear, and you can also see the net, 'explode' the solid so that the faces are separated, or drag it to rotate it...

This site is a personal site that discusses the popular polyhedron, the pyramid. It explains that by joining two pyramids you will get a dipyramid.

This is an exploration of polyhedron and may be used as a lesson plan. The site contains links to various crystals that are formed as polyhedron, and links to creating your own paper polyhedron. Other exciting related links on polyhedral...

This lesson focuses on polyhedra; a polyhedron (the plural is polyhedra) is a 3-dimensional solid object that is made up of polygons. Euler's Polyhedron Formula: In every polyhedron, the number of faces (F) plus the number of vertices...

This site not only defines what a polyhedron is, but it allows you to view each of the five regular polyhedra through an interactive exercise. After selecting which polyhedron you'd like to see, it will tell you its name and how many...

Interactive resources and activities dealing with properties and characteristic of the five polyhedrons and the sphere.

An introduction to a type of three-dimensional shape called a polyhedron. See examples and play with an interactive animation, showing the faces, vertices, and edges of pyramids, which are a type of polyhedron.

In this video tutoria, students will determine the lateral faces of polyhedrons. Check understanding with a quiz. [4:01]

This QuickTime movie provides an opportunity to discover the formula for finding the number of vertices on a polyhedron. As you watch and listen to the teacher and student interact it helps clarify the thinking behind applying this concept.
