Thing #6

Ok...I could have spent forever playing on bighugelabs.com! I had to tear myself away. I particularly liked the poster maker and the map maker. I thought the cube maker would be a fun class activity. I was thinking of using it for a math center this coming year to help the students identify and name 3-dimensional figures. As a class we could photograph several examples of each figure, the students could then choose their favorite photos to make their own cubes. The cubes then could be placed in a center where the students could use them with a simple game where they could travel along a trajectory where each place was labeled with the name of a 3-D figure. They could roll a cube and travel to the matching name.
