Polygon App - Mathigon
Polygon is an interactive mobile app that allows users to discover polygons hidden in museums or science centers, and use them to construct Platonic and Archimedean solids. Scan polyhedra with your phone’s camera, answer mathematical questions to get powerups with additional shapes, and view the finished solids in Augmented Reality.
Activities – Mathigon
Learn about the countless hidden applications which mathematics has in everyday life: from computers to weather prediction, video games, medicine, sports and music.
Polypad is a collection of interactive digital manipulatives designed to be used by both teachers and students. Physical (or concrete) manipulatives have long been a feature in many mathematics classrooms, and their benefits in helping students to develop conceptual understanding are well researched and understood.
Symmetry – Transformations and Symmetry - Mathigon
Symmetry. A figure or shape has symmetry, if it looks the same after being transformed in some way (e.g. reflection or rotation). is everywhere around us, and an intuitive concept: different parts of an object look the same in some way.

Spheres, Cones and Cylinders – Circles and Pi - Mathigon
But our world is actually three-dimensional, so lets have a look at some 3D solids that are based on circles: A cylinder consists of two congruent, parallel circles joined by a curved surface. A cone has a circular base that is joined to a single point (called the vertex).
Dilations – Transformations and Symmetry – Mathigon
changes a shape’s size by making it larger or smaller. All dilations have a center and a scale factor . The center is the point of reference for the dilation and scale factor tells us how much the figure stretches or shrinks.
Mandelbrot Zoom – Talks and Workshops - Mathigon
Mandelbrot Zoom. Like all fractals, we can “zoom into” the Mandelbrot set forever, finding new patterns at every scale. Here you can zoom into a part of the Mandelbrot set called the Seahorse valley: Scale: 1.
