NEW Compass Tool
Designing the action of a compass into the structure of Mathomat
For accurate, safe and intuitive geometric constructions in geometry class.
Chris Tisdell, working with John Lawton, has patented a new process for geometric construction work in classrooms.
Euclid’s definitions and axioms can be explored using a single compass radius setting. The challenge in tool design is to overcome the practical problems associated with compass use.
Our new test designs for Mathomat V3 and V5 combine the confidence and accuracy of a geometry template with the ability of compasses to connect students with the points, lines and arcs in the world of geometric construction.
Expected inclusion date in standard Mathomat templates; February 2022
