What do teachers use Zometool for?
Teachers use Zometool kits to let students explore a wide range of math and science concepts relating to structure and geometry. For elementary students this can include learning angles, area, perimeter, volume, polygon shapes, symmetry patterns, and basic physics concepts. Middle school and high school students use Zometool for more advanced mathematics including polyhedra building, projection modeling, and the algebra of the Golden Proportion. They also model mineral crystals and molecular structures, investigate Fibonacci patterns in biology, and explore structural engineering and architectural design. Utah’s MESA Group uses Zometool in its annual, statewide bridge building contest, involving 100 Utah schools.
