Closed Captioned Video: Geometry Applications: 3D Geometry |
Closed Captioned Video: Geometry Applications: 3D GeometryIn 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. |

Closed Captioned Video: Geometry Applications: 3D Geometry, 1 |
Closed Captioned Video: Geometry Applications: 3D Geometry, Segment 1: Introduction.We visit ancient Greece to learn about the Platonic Solids. This provides an introduction to the more general topic of three-dimensional figures. |

3-Dimensional Figures |
Closed Captioned Video: Geometry Applications: 3D Geometry, 2 |
Closed Captioned Video: Geometry Applications: 3D Geometry, Segment 2: PyramidsRectangular 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. |

Closed Captioned Video: Geometry Applications: 3D Geometry, 3 |
Closed Captioned Video: Geometry Applications: 3D Geometry, Segment 3: CylindersThe 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. |

About Media4Math
Our Mission
Media4Math's mission is to educate 21st-century students in real-world applications of math with digital technology. We bring math to life in your classroom with a rich blend of resources to inspire your students to learn. Our philosophy is that the procedural side of math is a prerequisite to using it, but we also find that real-world math applications can provide motivation and even inspiration for math students. Math is its own language and it has important stories to tell. While many of our resources are for procedural skills, there are many resources that are real-world applications of math. Some of these resources rely on partnerships with other educational publishers.

About Media4Math Classroom
Media4Math Classroom provides ready-to-use interactive math lessons that teach, assess, and provide real-world applications of topics in Pre-Algebra, Algebra, and Geometry. Assign these modules to your students and capture assessment scores in an easy-to-use Dashboard. This is a growing library of instructional modules. Topics include:
- Arithmetic
- Pre-Algebra
- Algebra
- Geometry
- SAT Math Prep
Media4Math Classroom modules provide real world applications of math that will motivate your students. Here are some examples:
