This is part of a series of video animations of three-dimensional figures. These animations show different views of these figures: top, side, and bottom. Many of these figures are a standard part of the geometry curriculum and being able to recognize them is important.

The Shanghai Tower in China is a stack of cylindrical shapes, where each successive layer is a percentage decrease of its lower neighbor. As with the previous section, this introduces the notion of a geometric sequence and series.

This is a collection of definitions related to 3D figures and their properties. This includes definitions and examples of 2D nets of 3D figures, as well as 2D cross-sections of different 3D figures.

In this activity, learn about the architecture of the Roman Pantheon. This companion to a Google Earth Voyager Story provides a deeper understanding of the geometric concepts introduced in the Voyager Story.

This collection of clip art images includes images of 3D figures and composite figures.

This is the transcript for the video of same title. Video contents: In this program we explore the properties of three-dimensional figures. We do this in the context of two real-world applications. In the first, we look at the three-dimensional structure of Mayan pyramids. These stair-step structures provide a unique opportunity to also explore sequences and series. In the second application we look at the Shanghai Tower as an example of cylindrically shaped structures.

This is the transcript for the video of same title. Video contents: We visit ancient Greece to learn about the Platonic Solids. This provides an introduction to the more general topic of three-dimensional figures.

This is the transcript for the video of same title. Video contents: Rectangular Prisms. Mayan pyramids are essentially stacks of rectangular prisms. The volume of each successive level is a percentage decrease of its lower neighbor. This introduces the notion of a geometric sequence and series, including an infinite series.
