Shapes 3D - Geometry Learning 2.3.7

'Shapes' is an innovative application that offers an engaging exploration of 3D geometrical concepts, including prisms, pyramids, solids of revolution, and Platonic solids. Users can begin with basic shapes and progressively delve into more intricate structures, utilizing the newly introduced Nets Creator mode to assemble solids from scratch and experiment with countless unique net combinations.

This application harnesses the capabilities of mobile technology to enhance educational experiences, providing teachers with tools to demonstrate concepts that traditional physical models might not convey effectively. It aims to stimulate interest and enthusiasm in mathematics across various educational levels.

Endorsed by the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science at Adam Mickiewicz University of Poznan, 'Shapes' is designed primarily to assist educators within the classroom setting, while also serving as a valuable resource for self-directed learning. Recent updates now allow users to save and print nets, enabling hands-on exploration and skill development beyond the digital environment.

The features of 'Shapes' include:

• Selection of 27 unique shapes
• Variety of prisms, pyramids, Platonic solids, and solids of revolution
• Unfolding shapes into varied net combinations
• Information on faces, edges, and vertices for each solid
• Creation of solids in Nets Creator mode
• Exploration of transparent surfaces mode
• Highlighting vertices and edges
• Coloring selected elements
• Simple gesture control for navigation
• Rotation of shapes in any direction
• Pincing and spreading gestures for zooming in and out
• Double tap for alignment to a basic position
• Options to save, print, cut, and fold chosen nets
• Examination of 3D shapes in Augmented Reality, allowing placement on any surface without printing or folding
