2. Four-dimensional space - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-dimensional_space

   Four-dimensional space (4D) is the mathematical extension of the concept of three-dimensional space (3D). Three-dimensional space is the simplest possible abstraction of the observation that one needs only three numbers, called dimensions, to describe the sizes or locations of objects in the everyday world.

3. Pattern Blocks - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pattern_blocks

   Pattern Blocks are a set of mathematical manipulatives developed in the 1960s. The six shapes are both a play resource and a tool for learning in mathematics, which serve to develop spatial reasoning skills that are fundamental to the learning of mathematics. Among other things, they allow children to see how shapes can be composed and ...

4. Dimension (vector space) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimension_(vector_space)

   A diagram of dimensions 1, 2, 3, and 4. In mathematics, the dimension of a vector space V is the cardinality (i.e., the number of vectors) of a basis of V over its base field. [1] [2] It is sometimes called Hamel dimension (after Georg Hamel) or algebraic dimension to distinguish it from other types of dimension.

5. Cuisenaire rods - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuisenaire_rods

   Cuisenaire rods are mathematics learning aids for pupils that provide an interactive, hands-on [1] way to explore mathematics and learn mathematical concepts, such as the four basic arithmetical operations, working with fractions and finding divisors. [2][3] In the early 1950s, Caleb Gattegno popularised this set of coloured number rods created ...

6. Dimension - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimension

   From left to right: a square, a cube and a tesseract.The square is two-dimensional (2D) and bounded by one-dimensional line segments; the cube is three-dimensional (3D) and bounded by two-dimensional squares; the tesseract is four-dimensional (4D) and bounded by three-dimensional cubes.

7. List of mathematical shapes - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mathematical_shapes

   The elements of a polytope can be considered according to either their own dimensionality or how many dimensions "down" they are from the body. Vertex, a 0-dimensional element; Edge, a 1-dimensional element; Face, a 2-dimensional element; Cell, a 3-dimensional element; Hypercell or Teron, a 4-dimensional element; Facet, an (n-1)-dimensional element
