Coding is Pentastic
Mr. Cobb, the Digital Integration Specialist, worked with sixth grade math teacher Mrs. Hollingsworth and her classes to create a 3D learning experience. Students learned all about finding the area of composite shapes. Students created their own images using the 3D doodler from individual shapes such as squares and triangles. Using a ruler, students found the area of each individual shape along with the entire composite shape. With a 3D pen students can draw a raised graphic on a piece of paper or any flat surface. But what makes a 3D pen truly unique is its ability to “draw” in mid-air, allowing students to instantly form 3D structures, which students can pick up and hold.
