Volume of a Pyramid Formula (in 3D!)

The reason I haven't uploaded in a while is because I actually have been making freelance videos for math education company which is super exciting! I hope you enjoy this visual representation of where the formula for the volume of a pyramid (with a square base) comes from. I think seeing this one visually really helps-- so I actually did two different representations: one with 3 pyramids and one with 6 pyramids. Thanks so much for watching!

Whether you're already a lover of mathematics, or you're someone who thinks math is the farthest thing from "cool", I hope you stick around, learn something new, or just find something to appreciate about the mathematics all around us.

Tell me what other proofs or videos you'd like to see on my channel!

Of course I had to pick the song called "Pyramids" for this video :)

Nice video! I hope you keep publishing, I like your videos, thanks for sharing.

Nice video, but hands-on would be better yet. I have looked for years in vain for manipulatives where 3 pyramids form 1 prism (or 6 pyramids form 1 cube). Have you ever seen any for sale?
