About this game

A 3D lab you can turn, slice and unfold.

Surface area is usually taught from a flat net printed on a page, and students never see how it folds into the solid. This lab unfolds a prism, a pyramid and a cylinder into their nets and slices a rectangular prism and a square pyramid. Its What if mode doubles a height, an edge or a radius so students can predict which measure grows the most before they see the numbers.
