Shapes 3D vs Geoboard, by MLC

Have you ever wondered what size is your desk? Or maybe you wanted to build something on it? With Shapes 3D Create Geometry AR app you can do both of these and even more in Augmented Reality! Get creative with your students using this new geometric tool in your classroom. What exactly you can do in the app? - Explore space around you looking for 3D shapes using Augmented Reality (AR) - Build solids on the floor, on your desk or even on the walls! - Learn about the exact measures of these solids - Stack solids on top of each other - Easily construct basic 2D shapes as a base, like a square, rectangle and all kinds of triangles - equilateral, isosceles and rectangular - Change units between metric (cm/m, imperial (in/ft) and easy to use block units. - Use our school Shapes license and login with a class code. Be creative to construct prisms and pyramids - with more to come. Share your thoughts as it's just the beginning.

Geoboard is a tool for exploring a variety of mathematical topics introduced in the elementary and middle grades. Learners stretch bands around the pegs to form line segments and polygons and make discoveries about perimeter, area, angles, congruence, fractions, and more. This virtual version of the manipulative is an open-ended educational tool, ideal for elementary classrooms and other learning environments. FEATURES • Create line segments and polygons by stretching bands around the Geoboard’s pegs. • Choose from 8 different band colors. • Fill individual shapes with a transparent color, or use the Fill All button to toggle all the bands between filled and unfilled. • Switch between the standard 25-peg square board, a rectangular board with 150 pegs, or a circular board with 13 pegs. The circular board enables explorations with angles, fractions, and time measurement. • Duplicate shapes then move, rotate, or flip them to explore symmetry and congruency. • Change the color of selected bands. • Display grid lines with or without numbering to more easily calculate area and identify shape locations. •Hide and reveal work with resizable covers to create your own problems and model strategies. • Use the drawing tools to annotate work and show understanding. • Add equations, expressions, and descriptions with the math text and writing tools. • Share your work by saving an image or providing a share code to others.
