Geometric Figures Made Easier With Technology

Funded Nov 25, 2023

Thank you for helping make this project possible so that the students in my classroom can benefit from the use of technology in helping to enhance their learning.

Incorporating the iPad and Apple Pencil into our daily instructional practice has helped the students gain a better understanding of the concepts we are working on in geometry.

We are currently using it to gain a better understanding of surface area and volume. Oftentimes, the students have trouble visualizing the three dimensional figures we are working with because they are drawn flat on a piece of paper. Using different geometry apps on the iPad has allowed the students to manipulate the figures just like they would if they could hold it in their hand. This has allowed them to gain a better understanding of the different parts of the figures and to look at the figures from different perspectives; which in turn has made it easier for the students to understand how to calculate the surface area and volume of the figures.

Thank you again for helping to make this project possible. It truly has enriched the learning experience for my students.”
