Math courses

If you are studying at high school or are preparing for college this is the perfect place for you. We have decided to divide our material into four math courses: Pre-algebra, Algebra 1, Algebra 2 and Geometry - on these pages you will find all the theory needed to complete your math studies in respective field. We use state of the art teaching methods including up to date examples and video lessons. Each math course is divided into different fields and under each field you will find different lessons including theory, examples and video lessons.

Are you about to take the SAT or the ACT test? All material found on Mathplanet.com is produced by our top pedagogues and is all free to use! Curriki Free Geometry Course.

There are only five geometric solids that can be made using a regular polygon and having the same number of these polygons meet at each corner.

Platonic Solids

The five Platonic solids (or regular polyhedra) are the tetrahedron, cube, octahedron, dodecahedron, and icosahedron. History of Platonic Solids The five regular polyhedra were discovered by the ancient Greeks. The Pythagoreans knew of the tetrahedron, the cube, and the dodecahedron; the mathematician Theaetetus added the octahedron and the icosahedron. These shapes are also called the Platonic solids, after the ancient Greek philosopher Plato; Plato, who greatly respected Theaetetus' work, speculated that these five solids were the shapes of the fundamental components of the physical universe. Platonic Solids - Info Note: Euler's formula states that (The Number of Faces) + (The Number of Vertices) - (The Number of Edges) = 2 Printable Worksheets and Activities Click to read our Privacy Policy Advertisement.

These instructions can be found in most elementary geometry books, but it might be more convenient to have them all in one place, rather than scattered throughout the book. Compass and straightedge construction can be far more complex, but I have no intention of adding to this work. These are the basics. Use them as tools to build an understanding of higher concepts. What is construction? About the instruments. Word Version - If you plan on printing this guide, it will look much better in the original format, which was done on Word 97.
