Arloon Geometry vs More on Geometric Sequence

Can you imagine studying polyhedrons in Geometry class using Augmented Reality? A fascinating way to discover the world of geometry! This app features 3D models with Augmented Reality for most geometric shapes. By directly interacting with the figures, your students will improve their spatial visualization. * Winner of the Academics' Choice Smart Media Award (July 2014) * Learning Best Practice Award (October 2014) * 2nd prize winner of the “La Caixa Emprendedores XXI” awards for entrepreneurs (June 2014) * Winner of the first Lanzadera business incubator program (May 2013) “The power to unfold the figures is highly didactic.” Ovi Barceló, Math teacher at Julio Verne Bilingual School, Spain. “The students’ performance improves notably almost immediately.” José Antonio Pascual Gimeno, Teaching Director and Science Teacher at Julio Verne Bilingual School, Spain. *************************************** Geometry classes like never before: * View geometric shapes from all angles and see their sides unfold into flat figures. Geometry combines conceptual content (definitions and characteristics) with procedural content (applying formulae and calculus). * Curricular content and exercises to: • Study prisms, regular polyhedra, bodies of revolution, pyramids • List their properties and the formulae that define their area and volume • Compare and identify objects in the environment with geometric shapes using Augmented Reality • Develop spatial imagination by observing 3D and flat models • Interact and discover each formula step by step • Work through exercises to practise what has been learned: guess the geometric shape, confirm characteristics and calculate area and volume * The content of this application for students from 11 years of age is completely curricular. Content is available in English and Spanish. Hundreds of schools around the world are already learning with ARLOON! * Learning Outcomes: • Cognitive Development • Critical Thinking • Engagement and Usability • Creative Development • Life Skills • Academic Relevance * Acquisition of 21st-century skills: • Scientific: geometry terms and definitions • Mathematical: geometric shapes, area and volume • Digital: studying with new technology • Learning to learn: experimenting and actively searching for answers to promote self-learning • Artistic: developing spatial imagination and the capacity for abstraction specific to geometry • Linguistic: building multilingual vocabulary (English and Spanish)

The DOST Courseware is a locally-produced, all-original Filipino highly interactive multimedia educational application packages that are conceptualized, digitized and produced as spearheaded by the Science Education Institute (SEI-DOST) in partnership with the Advanced Science and Technology Institute (ASTI-DOST) and in cooperation with the Department of Education (DepEd), Philippine Normal University (PNU) and University of the Philippines-National Institute for Science and Mathematics Education (UP-NISMED), which aims to develop information and communication technology learning innovation to support the upgrading and improvement of science and mathematics education in the country. The DOST Courseware are provided for free to schools and are also made available online as supplemental resources for teachers and student as a fun and interactive approach to e-learning and blended learning. The Grade 7 DOST Courseware is composed of 120 lessons overall, 73 lessons in Science where it covered the domains on: Matter; Force, Motion and Energy, Living Things and Their Environment and Earth and Space while the 60 lessons in Mathematic covered the domains on: Numbers and Number Sense, Patterns and Algebra, and Geometry. The Grade 8 DOST Courseware is composed of 118 lessons overall, 61 lessons in Science where it covered the domains on: Parts and Functions, Ecosystems, Heredity: Inheritance and Variation of Traits, Structures and Functions, Biodiversity, and Evolution, while the 57 lessons in Mathematics covered the domains on: Linear Equations, Quadratic Equations, Rational Algebraic Equations, Integral Exponents, Radicals, Arithmetic Sequence and Geometric Sequence. The themes of the courseware for Grades 7 and 8, Magicademy, Freddy’s Lab and D’nayao will surely amuse the users as they explore these distinct worlds while learning at the same time.
