POST 5: SHAPES - 3D GEOMETRY (APP)
Hello!
Today I'm going to present a very interesting app I've found which allows to learn about the different types of 3D solids and which help students understand geometry in a pleasant way.
‘Shapes’ uses the power of mobile devices to enhance teacher capabilities and provide possibilities to show things that cannot be shown with physical tools.
It also allows the students to print off shape diagrams. Then they can follow the step by step fully illustrated instructions to turn the piece of paper into a tangible 3D shape.
The following video shows perfectly the way the app works.
In my opinion, this is a fantastic way for the students to learn, because they can manipulate the shapes however they want so they can solve their own doubts and curiosity.
