About this app

Learn more about 3D geometry while having fun! This app contains a large (and growing) searchable database of models that can be built with ITSPHUN Geometric Art construction sets. The models are presented along with construction tips and math information. The browser also contains explanations for the math concepts and construction methods used. The objects can be tagged as built or favorite and the models can be searched using these and other criteria.

The models presented are objects with faces which are regular polygons with 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, and 10 sides. These include: Platonic solids, Archimedean solids, Johnson solids, prisms, antiprisms, non-convex solids, and objects that are not completely closed.

The construction tips are presented in a variety of ways: descriptions, alternate views, nets, components, comments, and links to web pages with more information (mostly wikipedia).

A set of building and math challenges further reinforces the concepts presented. Solving some problems unlocks additional objects in the database.
