What do I teach with Zometool?
Zometool is a versatile manipulative for problem solving and hands-on exploration of math and science concepts related to structure. For elementary school students this includes geometry-based concepts such as polygon shapes, lines and angles, tessellation and pattern recognition, scale and proportion, measurement of perimeters, areas, and volumes, and distinguishing 2 and 3 dimensions. It also allows exploration of how symmetry shapes can be connected to number sense and structure in nature.
