 Mighty Math Cosmic GeometryIn 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.
Skills Learned:
Problem Solving and Reasoning
Attributes of Shapes and Solids
Geometric constructions & Transformations
2D & 3D Coordinates
Length, Perimeter, Area & Angles
Surface Area & Volume
Geometric Terminology & Notation
Solving for Unknowns
Symmetry
Mathematical Elements of Art
Product 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.
