3D Geometry App |
3D Geometry is an app that allows you to form and manipulate shapes into 3D objects. It covers a wide range of the easiest, most known objects, to hardest, least known objects. This app is a great tool for your child if they are having trouble, or if the just want extra practice. It explains each shape, and what it's made of. It incorporates the volume of the object and an algebraic equation for it. Cost: $0.99 https://itunes.apple.com/hk/app/3d-geometry/id555596048?mt=8 |
Geometry Express App |
Geometry Express is a part of Praeter's Software's award-winning line of educational mathematic calculation and teaching software for students and teachers. It was made to help children understand the design of 3-D objects and how they are put together. This app has live simulations of how it functions and relates to each other algebraically. This app could be used as a tool to check and help children with their homework. I, also, might use this in my class if I think the children need a better understanding of the lesson. Cost: $1.99 https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/geometry-express/id454056360?mt=12 |
Bubble Harp App |
Bubble Harp is a game to really tap into your child's creative side. It draws bubbles as your move your finger, while creating music. It combines drawing, animation, music, art, geometry, and gaming at the same time. You can draw single stream, long movements or many points. It's up to you what shapes and designs your want to make. This app could be used as a class project to see what each student could come up with. Each student could share with the class. It's a fun way to keep your children engaged and show you a little bit of geometry. "Of the millions of apps out there, none quite capitalize on the sheer fun and beauty of interactivity the way that Scott Snibbe’s do.” Cost: $1.99 https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/bubble-harp/id372531368?mt=8 |
Shape of the USA App |
Shape of the USA is not mainly focused on geometry, but it ties some math into it. Mainly, it displays a state, and you have to choose with state you think is the correct answer. However, all the shapes of the states are different and by knowing some geometry, it can make it a little easier to learn which state is which. It integrates Mathematics and Social Studies together, which will help your child understand more in both areas.
This game could be easily played in pairs or teams. It keeps track of how many you get right and how many you get wrong, in turn being able to recognize a winner at the end. This game can motivate kids to learn their states and shapes because they want to be the winner at the end. They think they will strictly be having fun, but really they will be helping themselves learn at the same time. Cost: $0.99 https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/shape-of-the-usa/id443094542?mt=12 |
HMH Fuse: Geometry, Common Core Edition App |
This app is based right off of geometry standards that I, as your child's teacher, must cover. It goes through and virtually teaches the student about geometry. It strengthens the skills and concepts that your child needs to know to in class. This app is beneficial to all students, not just a student who is struggling.
It is very engaging to students and is something different from the classroom teacher teaching it. This app also requires the students to think about geometry in a real world setting. It teaches them to come up with a logical argument, incorporating and using geometry in real life situations. *This app is only for an iPad, not ipod touch. Cost: Free (Sample Chapter) $19.99 (Full Edition) http://www.hmheducation.com/fuse/geometry/index.php |
