Noise Timer

Features
Read full description

This application is both a timer and a volume meter. It measures the approximate volume in a selectable time period in minutes. The noise level is averaged and peaks are filtered out as far as possible. Advantages: + Any working time in minutes selectable + Optical and numerical timer + Volume display as level with color change (traffic light), numeric display and with matching emoji + Frequency of volume exceeding and percentage of them visible in time + Start, stop possible at any time + level corresponds approximately to dB + Filters out short bursts of noise like coughing, pencil dropping,... + For classroom and homeschooling + The children will be thrilled! Available for iPhone and iPad with iOS 13 and higher! Supports German and English language.

About

Cube Aware

Read full description

Cube Aware is a thoughtfully designed application for mathematics education aimed at enhancing spatial visualization. Spatial imagination is considered a significant component of human intelligence. Suitable tools beyond conventional flat drawing of spatial objects are necessary in schools for its development. The advantage of spatial software lies in its dynamism, allowing students to actively engage in space and visualize the effects of their actions and configurations. The application serves as a good example of integrating two- and three-dimensional representations through cube structures. Cube structures, from a didactic perspective, are particularly suitable because they promote visual perception. Cube Aware focuses on what are known as "translation actions" of perspectives using cube structures. The emphasis is on constructing cube structures based on existing perspectives, as well as making perspective-preserving changes to the cube structure. The goal is to construct a cube structure with as few cubes as possible based on existing side views. The resulting cube structures are often more symmetrical than intuition might suggest. Discover fractal structures as potential solutions in a playful manner. Cube Aware can also be played in an Augmented Reality mode, offering an exciting approach to largely unexplored possibilities of spatial interaction. Augmented Reality allows the training of spatial orientation on screens and enables physically walking around the cube structure.
