Pearl Diver vs Geometry Nets Helper

Throw on your diving helmet, and head into the depths of the sea! Master the number line, including fractions and decimals, while gathering beautiful pearls. Will you find the elusive black pearl? • Ideal for elementary and middle school students, grades 3-8. Developed by mathematics educators, researchers, and game developers at the Learning Games Lab at New Mexico State University. Games developed by the Learning Games Lab undergo a rigorous instructional design process, extensive user testing, and input from learners, teachers, and researchers. Pearl Diver addresses Common Core standards relevant to the number line and properties of numbers, including: • Understanding numbers, ways of representing numbers, and number systems. • Understanding and representing commonly used fractions. • Understanding fractions as part of unit wholes and as locations on number lines. • Comparing and ordering fractions, and finding their approximate locations on the number line.

Geometry net learning support app produced by Digital Gene. This is an application that assists in understanding the relationship between a net cube and a solid cube. The app shows the cube gradually changing, moving from a net into a solid. The viewer can understand where the surfaces, sides, and points connect. [Add colors and symbols for easy understanding] Symbols and colors can be added to the surfaces, sides, and points. Various problems can be created and tested out. Which surface will face surface A? What direction will the surface face when assembling the net? Which net is the correct one for a dice? Etc. [Works with all the nets] All 11 different nets can be used. They can be rotated or flipped horizontally.
