We have a special page on constructions and plenty of sample problems to help you understand the concepts. Have a blast and don't forget to check out our Glossary - it's huge!
- Native American Geometry
- NATIVE AMERICAN GEOMETRY is a physical, proportional geometry that originates from the simple circle. A growing body of architectural and iconographic evidence from Native America suggests it was a relatively common tradition that has been practiced for at least two thousand years. This is the same type of geometry that was discovered and developed by the ancestors of many peoples in many places, from China to the Mediterranean Basin to the British Isles.
- The Geometry of a Sphere
- We are interested here in the geometry of an ordinary sphere. In plane geometry we study points, lines, triangles, polygons, etc. On the sphere we have points, but there are no straight lines --- at least not in the usual sense. However, straight lines in the plane are characterized by the fact that they are the shortest paths between points. To learn more visit this site.
- Geometry Through Art
- The best way for children to learn about geometry is to take up pencil and straight edge (a ruler will do) and design geometrically on paper. These Web pages are meant to be a resource for educators and learners alike, providing useful, ready-made worksheets that will give students access to authentic geometric experiences. Vocabulary is organized in a continuum of grade levels, and scenarios and hands-on activities give lesson plan outlines as models for use in the classroom.
- Fractals-Cool Math 4 Kids
- What are fractals? The easiest way to explain them is that they are pictures made with math! Visit this site to learn more.

- Egyptian Fractions
- Nowadays, we usually write non-integer numbers either as fractions (2/7) or decimals (0.285714). The floating point representation used in computers is another representation very similar to decimals. But the ancient Egyptians (as far as we can tell from the documents now surviving) used a number system based on unit fractions: fractions with one in the numerator.
