This paper provides educational resources for the study of pyramids with equal edges that are inscribed in a sphere. Potential use of the resources by students of different age groups is illustrated. A recommendation is made to use the created computer models both for obtaining the answer to a given task with sufficient accuracy and for learning the software capabilities. The possibilities for the simultaneous development of mathematical and digital competence with a focus on solving applied tasks or forming the ability to formulate hypotheses are discussed.
