In
Cosmic Geometry, students explore attributes of shapes and solids,
constructions and transformations, 2D and 3D coordinates, and the
relationships between length, perimeter, area, and volume.
Winding
their way through a 3D maze, assembling robots, creating
tessellating patterns, and making movies of geometric constructions,
students develop a strong foundation for geometry and its real-world
applications.
Special
features include Virtual Manipulatives that help students make the
connection between concrete and abstract concepts and Grow Slides,
which automatically advance topics and problems.
Features
Robots
Dance Through Geometric Transformations
Build
robots and choreograph their actions in Octa, the octahedron's,
Robot Studio.
Use
translations (slides), rotations (turns) and reflections (flips) to
assemble your robot on a 2D coordinate grid, then make it dance in a
3D space.
Predict
and test solutions, search for patterns, and build spatial awareness
as you direct and test your robot's moves.
Sizzling
Symmetrical Patterns Spring to Life
Choose
a shape. Now pull it, stretch it and fill it with color or art in an
interlocking, symmetrical pattern. You've made a tessellation! At
the Tessellation Creation Station you develop artistic creativity
while exploring shapes, patterns and symmetry.
Explore
Geometric Relationships in a 3D Maze
Enter
Amazing Angles and help Dodeca the dodecahedron navigate the 3D
labyrinth he calls home.
Unlock
secret rooms and discover new paths by solving for the relationships
between length, angle, perimeter, area, dimension, surface area, and
volume.
Every
path leads to new questions, and every question leads deeper into
the maze.
Graduate
from the Geometry Academy
Enroll
at the Geometry Academy to learn about geometry terminology and
famous mathematicians, and experiment with "hands-on"
geometric models.
Hexa,
the hexahedron and chief reference librarian for Planet Geometry, is
your guide!
Geometry
Goes to the Movies
You're
the director in GeoMovies!
Tetra,
the tetrahedron, provides tools you can use to solve problems and
build intricate geometric constructions that you view as movies.
"Scene" and "Ideas" buttons provide starting
points for creative expression.
Special
Features!
The
amazing 3D technology in Cosmic Geometry brings Planet Geometry and
its polyhedral inhabitants to life.
You'll
have a blast exploring the 3D landscape of the main plaza as you
navigate your new vehicle through fractal trees, around a polyhedral
fountain, and past the unique features and buildings of the
planet.
Collect
special tools to enhance your vehicle as you accomplish your tasks
at each station.
You
can also create geometrical artwork and "publish" the
results on the main plaza for others to see as they explore the
planet's surface.
Mighty
Math's unique Grow Slide feature automatically
records your progress and adjusts to guide your learning.
The
activities in Cosmic Geometry offer dozens of math topics and
hundreds of problems. Grow Slides help 7th, 8th & 9th graders
get the full benefit of the three years of math learning in every
activity.
As
you learn and progress, the Grow Slides advance, offering more
challenging problems.
You
or your parent can also set the difficulty of each activity or
choose a specific topic related to schoolwork.
This
product contains Universal Access features including TouchWindow and
Single Switch compatibility to address a variety of learning styles
and abilities.
