Sophia: Different Kinds of Solids

Students identify different types of polygons. In this geometry lesson, students differentiate between convex and regular shapes. they identify the names of two and three-dimensional objects.

Did you know that a soccer ball is very similar to a truncated icosahedron? Both have 32 faces, but while a truncated icosahedron is made up solely of flat hexagons, a traditional soccer ball has 12 pentagons and 20 hexagons, each curved...

A Platonic solid is a polyhedron made up of only one kind of regular polygon, that looks the same from every direction. (In other words, the same number of faces meet at every vertex.) There are only five different Platonic solids:...

This lesson focuses on polyhedra other than the platonic solids; these include an Archimedean solid, a polyhedron made up of different kinds of regular polygons, that looks the same from every direction. There are 13 different...

Learn to apply arithmetic sequences to predict and evaluate real world situations by computing common differences. By calculating the nth term and applying the correct formula to increase mathematical efficiency, you will take a solid...

I always thought a prism was a solid triangular shaped piece of glass that made rainbows when the light shined through it. Well, that is a prism, but that is only one example of a prism, as prisms are three-dimensional solids of a...

Do you know how to graph a linear equation? If you do then graphing an inequality will not be a problem for you. There are a couple of differences: is the line solid or dashed, and which half plane do you have to shade. Watch this video...

Students explore graphs and define the different ways they are used to display data. In this algebra lesson, students collect data and plot their data using the correct graph. They draw conclusions from their graphs based on their data.
