Mathematics ITP: Isometric grid

This interactive teaching program (ITP) is an ICT-based tool to support the exploration of shape and space. Isometric grid ITP allows the child or teacher to display equilateral triangles. The grid can be hidden or become an isometric pin board. An 'elastic band' can be stretched around the pins to create outlines. Rhombuses can be selected and dragged to different positions on the grid, and then locked together to form representations of 3-D shapes. The application (in a variety of formats) and guidance for using the application (as PDF or Word file) can be downloaded from this page.
