 Teacher Review (Not based on classroom experience)Reviewer: Mrs. Lovely, Jun 10 2008 3:53PM |
Review based on: personal experience |
Appropriate for: introduction to a concept |
What math does one need to know to use the resource? You need to know and understand basic shapes to use this support. |
What hardware expertise does one need to learn to use the resource? A teacher with basic computer skills can use this support. This support is good for introducing transformations and then having students explore after each is discussed. Manipulating the shapes for the transformations may need to be discussed if you are using this with students. |
How hard was it for you to learn? Easy |
Explanation: It was easy to manipulate each shape but if details of degrees are needed, this would not be a great source. This manipulative is best used for basic transformations. |
Ability to meet my goals: Very Effective |
