Students study the different types of love. They identify the various types of love and the behaviors associated with each. They determine that love is a relationship which is best expressed by trust, honesty, and respect and that ...

Sixth graders compare and contrast two-dimensional shapes to three-dimensional shapes. After watching a demonstration, they make their own shapes using nets printed on paper. To end the instructional activity, they use the shapes they...

In this math worksheet, middle schoolers develop cognitive and geometric abilities. They construct a paper model of a octahedron composed of eight triangular faces, six vertices and 12 edges.

In this dodecahedron worksheet, students build a model of a dodecahedron. The pattern for this shape is made up of twelve pentagons. This is a worksheet generator, and the teacher can choose if a sample of the completed shape will be...

In this friendship instructional activity, students, with a partner, explore and discuss a variety of questions associated with friendship and its many meanings.

In this 2D and 3D figure worksheet, students name different shapes and decide if they are polygons or not. Students complete 8 problems.

In this online interactive philosophy worksheet, students respond to 10 short answer and essay questions about Charmides by Plato.

In this online interactive philosophy worksheet, students respond to 61 short answer questions about Confessions by St. Augustine. Students may check some of their answers on the interactive worksheet. 

High schoolers identify the surface area of pyramids and other polygons. In this geometry lesson, students find the different measurements for the different parts of a polygon. They use the surface area formula to solve for the...

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

Tenth graders are given the scenario and are asked questions concerning a crime. They answers to the questions are used to develop a debate. Each question is intended to promote higher thinking skills like analysis and ask the student to...

Learn more about platonic sold geometry, understand the platonic solid names, view some solved examples, and try your hand at some interactive problems.

Use Euler's Formula and properties of known platonic solids' faces, edges, and vertices to determine why only five platonic solids exist.

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 site gives a description of platonic solids along with a visual representation of each of the five platonic solids. At the bottom of the page are links to cut-out-templates for each of the platonic solids. Be sure to follow the...

Learn about platonic solids, a special type of polyhedra. Read a definition, make three-dimensional models using printouts, and play with an interactive animation, which will show you the faces, vertices, and edges on platonic solids:...

A short interactive activity to visualize the different platonic solids. You can also change the axis of rotation.

The 'Platonic solids' are three-dimensional shapes formed by putting together identical regular faces. Every corner and every edge is identical to every other corner and edge. There are five such 'solids': the tetrahedron, cube,...

Did you know that the five regular platonic solids (tetrahedron, octahedron, icosahedron, cube, and dodecahedron) were thought to represent earth, air, fire, water, and the universe? This chart shows an image and provides a description...

A discusion of the Platonic Tradition and its rebirth during the Italian Renaissance. Also mentions humanism, Aristotle and Marsilio Ficino.

This is a hands-on activity that introduces students to the five Platonic solids. Students will discover the special relationship between faces, vertices, and edges. Students will research the Platonic solids and then construct and...

This site, which is provided for by Math World, is a lengthy site describing the various properties and mathematical explanations of the figures.

A "three star geometry problem" requiring knowledge of how to complete geometric proofs to prove that there are no more than five regular convex polyhedra.

An informative resource on the nature of Platonic Solids and what constitutes these figures.
