# Mathematics in Ancient Greece

  ![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/blog/IMG_20221012_135718%5B1%5D.jpg)   14 October 2022   [Ms Kendal](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/author/CarolineKendal)   [Year 4](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/category/year-4)

Children in Year 4 have been exploring the work of the Ancient Greek mathematician, Euler.

Euler helped discover the 5 Platonic shapes.  The children worked in groups to test his formula of Number of Faces + Number of Vertices - Number of Edges = 2.

Great work Year 4!
