Eüler's formula is true for regular platonic solids. It turns out, rather beautifully, that it is true for pretty much every polyhedron. The speaker will guide participants through a lesson that prompts students to discover these properties using computer software and the PolyPackPlus. A complementary handout will outline activities.
