Several uniform polychora can be derived from the 24-cell via truncation:
- truncating at 1/3 of the edge length yields the truncated 24-cell;
- truncating at 1/2 of the edge length yields the rectified 24-cell;
- and truncating at half the depth to the dual 24-cell yields the bitruncated 24-cell, which is cell-transitive.
The 96 edges of the 24-cell can be partitioned into the golden ratio to produce the 96 vertices of the snub 24-cell. This is done by first placing vectors along the 24-cell's edges such that each two-dimensional face is bounded by a cycle, then similarly partitioning each edge into the golden ratio along the direction of its vector. An analogous modification to an octahedron produces an icosahedron, or "snub octahedron."

“Generally there is no consistent evidence of significant differences in school achievement between children of working and nonworking mothers, but differences that do appear are often related to maternal satisfaction with her chosen role, and the quality of substitute care.”
