I want to know. Not the kind you'll learn in like 4th grade. Maybe like 6 grade and up like that one octagon thingy.

If you want to really get fancy, there are infinitely many such figures - just like there are infinitely many numbers. You can't really ask someone to name them all!

Some of the more interesting and important ones are:
- Tetrahedron
- Cube
- Octahedron
- Dodecahedron
- Icosahedron

If you're into dungeons & dragons or similar games, these figures are your d4 (four-sided die), d6 (six-sided die), d8, d12, and d20.

Those are the only five 3-d shapes for which each side is an identical regular polygon. (Other "dice" like the d10 don't qualify: each face of the d10 is an identical triangle, but the triangles' sides aren't all the same length).

Well, there are tetrahedrons and dodecahedrons and octohedrons and icosahedrons. A triangular pyramid is also known as a tetrahedron. A cube is also known as a hexahedron. If you want more information, look up platonic solids.
