How 'Tall' Is the Triangle? Constructionist Learning of Shape and Space with 3D Pens
International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, v52 n9 p1426-1432 2021
In this paper, I discuss the potential transformations to teach K-12 geometry topics with the technology of 3D Pens, which enabled 3D models to be created instantly via one's moving hands. I draw on an example of using constructionist learning activities with 3D Pens to teach young children, 'how tall is the triangle?'
