Transtar - Mangahigh
In this maths game your aim is to guide the alien entity TranStar across the cosmos as it searches for the mysterious Core. By calling upon the awesome power of exotic space phenomena you apply transformations to TranStar, allowing you to reflect, rotate, translate and even enlarge it. But think carefully – one false move and TranStar’s star trek could come to a tragic end!
Use Google Sketchup to visualise 3D shapes
A short video tutorial on creating 3D shapes in Google Sketchup to help students find the surface area.
Viewfinder
Explore visual perspectives of solids such as cylinders, cones and cuboids. Match a 2D photo of a group of 3D objects taken from a different viewpoint. Identify the relative positions of the solids by comparing 2D outlines and colours. Rearrange the objects on a base grid until the view matches the original photo. Progress through four levels.
