Tabula Description

A great presentation application that provides the tools specific to teaching geometry. Tabula is a new program for math instruction that joins the conveniences of a presentation program with the tools specific to teaching geometry. Tabula also excels at modeling math concepts such as fractions and factoring with geometry. A novel set of manipulation and transformation tools encourages activities that use paper, scissors, straight edge and other hands-on items. Tabula is tailored to late elementary math through high school geometry. Tabula is also well suited to accompany the manipulatives of other vendors.NOTE: The beta version expires on December 1st. Here are some key features of "Tabula": · Manipulation - Build understanding of the relationships between points, angles, and sides. Investigate the results of subdividing and combining shapes. The manipulation tools are designed to mimic and extend what can be done with paper, scissors, and tape. · Fold objects and create creases. · Cut objects along creases or anywhere else. · Tabula also allows you to easily tape the objects back together. · The pushpin works just like it does on a pegboard. · Transformation - One way to perform transformations in Tabula is to add the transformation vectors to the workspace and set them up. This is designed to help students understand the effects of applying simple and composite transformations. Animation, which is optional, is yet another aid to understanding. · Rotation vector. · Dilation vector. · Reflection vector. · Translation vector. · Presentation - With presentation technology such as an interactive whiteboard or projector and screen, Tabula can deliver interactive lessons and activities. Write, draw, and work with geometric objects in a new and exciting way. · Choose color and style. · Erase. · Add text as necessary. · Work within a customizable grid. · Measurement and Construction - Guide students through the proper use of the instruments of measurement and construction. · A working demonstration compass. · Ruler in centimeters and inches. · Protractor. · Choose from the set of common geometric objects or make your own. · BulletControl the appearance of objects and the workspace. · BulletTurn on a grid, axes, and snapping to grid. · BulletAutomatically label and measure. · BulletShow important locations (e.g. segment midpoints) and lines (e.g. angle bisectors) within objects. · BulletAlign, arrange, lock, and snap to other objects. · BulletCustomize the grid with control over spacing, angles, thickness, and color. Includes isometric and 60?. · BulletUse compass tool to perform traditional (non-dynamic) constructions. · BulletPrintable and exportable · BulletBoundless workspace.
