Mighty Math Cosmic Geometry for Windows and Mac
In Cosmic Geometry, students explore attributesof 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 tessellatingpatterns, and making movies of geometric constructions, students develop astrong foundation for geometry and its real-world applications.
Special features include Virtual Manipulatives thathelp students make the connection between concrete and abstract concepts andGrow Slides, which automatically advance topics and problems.
Robots Dance Through Geometric TransformationsBuild robots and choreograph their actions in Octa, the octahedron's, RobotStudio. Use translations (slides), rotations (turns) and reflections (flips) toassemble 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 asyou direct and test your robot's moves.Sizzling Symmetrical Patterns Spring to LifeChoose a shape. Now pull it, stretch it and fill it with color or art in aninterlocking, symmetrical pattern. You've made a tessellation! At theTessellation Creation Station you develop artistic creativity while exploringshapes, patterns and symmetry.Explore Geometric Relationships in a 3D MazeEnter Amazing Angles and help Dodeca the dodecahedron navigate the 3D labyrinthhe calls home. Unlock secret rooms and discover new paths by solving for therelationships between length, angle, perimeter, area, dimension, surface area,and volume. Every path leads to new questions, and every question leads deeperinto the maze.Graduate from the Geometry AcademyEnroll at the Geometry Academy to learn about geometry terminology and famousmathematicians, and experiment with "hands-on" geometric models. Hexa,the hexahedron and chief reference librarian for Planet Geometry, is your guide!Geometry Goes to the MoviesYou're the director in GeoMovies! Tetra, the tetrahedron, provides tools you canuse to solve problems and build intricate geometric constructions that you viewas movies. "Scene" and "Ideas" buttons provide startingpoints for creative expression.Special Features!The amazing 3D technology in Cosmic Geometry brings Planet Geometry and itspolyhedral inhabitants to life. You'll have a blast exploring the 3D landscapeof the main plaza as you navigate your new vehicle through fractal trees, arounda polyhedral fountain, and past the unique features and buildings of the planet.Collect special tools to enhance your vehicle as you accomplish your tasks ateach station. You can also create geometrical artwork and "publish"the results on the main plaza for others to see as they explore the planet'ssurface.Mighty Math's unique Grow Slide feature automatically records your progress andadjusts to guide your learning. The activities in Cosmic Geometry offer dozensof math topics and hundreds of problems. Grow Slides help 7th, 8th & 9thgraders get the full benefit of the three years of math learning in everyactivity. As you learn and progress, the Grow Slides advance, offering morechallenging problems. You or your parent can also set the difficulty of eachactivity or choose a specific topic related to schoolwork.
