A geometry problem over a century old has just found its definitive answer. Mathematicians have confirmed that the solution ...

To expand students mathematical understanding of non-prototypical triangles as children frequently develop very restricted conceptions of geometric shapes. They often identify them solely based on ...

The ancient Greek mathematician Euclid proved in his Elements of Geometry that there are only five Platonic solids – the regular tetrahedron (four sides that are equilateral triangles), the cube (six ...

It's possible to demonstrate and prove mathematically that the angle sum of every triangle is 180 degrees. The techniques used are useful for solving all kinds of other geometry problems too.

Mark the 90° right angles in the bottom left and top right corners. You can split a rectangle into 2 right-angled triangles. Image caption, STEP 2: Use the compass to draw a circle. Put a dot ...

Many children's concept of a triangle is limited to the familiar equilateral triangle with a horizontal base. In this lesson, students will explore and identify a variety of triangular shapes using ...
