Tinkercad Kindergarten Geometry Unit
This eversion project is a mathematics unit designed for the kindergarten classroom. The unit, meant to be implemented over the course of the five-day school week, aims to teach basic geometry through technological eversion. The online program Tinkercad (a CAD, or “computer -aided design” application) is used as a digital platform for teaching 2D shapes, 3D shapes, and positional words. . .
