Reptangles, Using Turtles For Geometry? – Timberdoodle’s Homeschool Vodcast #0019

A glance at these colorful turtles may not immediately bring geometry to mind, but it would be difficult to find a manipulative better suited to illustrating complex geometric concepts than Reptangles. If rotational symmetries, truncated octahedrons, and lesser rhombicuboctahedrons sound like a foreign language to you, let alone your student, consider adding a set of Reptangles to your math manipulatives. With 80 puzzles included, your child will gain hands-on experience with all of these concepts and more. Even a child you wouldn’t ordinarily consider ready for geometry will spend hours with Reptangles reconstructing the various models and reconfiguring the turtles with all the benefits of a jigsaw puzzle and the fun of building a 3D model.

Why Homeschoolers Love Funline Slacklines

A cross between a tightrope and a trampoline, the Gibbon Funline Slackline is an amazing tool for homeschoolers. With a very easy set-up process your children will soon be engaged in healthy outdoor activity, learning to control their body. It is a well-established fact that children need to work their body in order to get the best use of their brain. This used to be a challenge to homeschoolers, but not anymore. Cheaper than a trampoline, the Gibbon Funline Slackline offers a more rigorous workout with its need for careful balance. At the same time, a Gibbon Funline Slackline begs to be used, and your child’s creative abilities will flourish as he attempts all sorts of feats. So what do you think?

Behind The Scenes

  • Testing the Gibbon Funline was indeed a lot of fun. What isn’t shown in the video is all the people standing just outside the frame, watching, commenting, and offering tips.
  • It required a bit more skill than some of our testers expected. So much for the cartwheels they’d planned on!
  • Not everyone had seen the pros before they tried out the Funline. Now they claim that if they’d only known what we were looking for, they could have done it!
