Cosmic Geometry Provides a Strong Foundation for Geometry Success!

Cosmic Geometry teaches you the concepts and problem-solving skills you need to master geometry and build math confidence! Polyhedral (many-sided) characters such as Dodeca, Hexa and Icosa are your guides on this awesome exploration of Planet Geometry. You'll learn about attributes of shapes and solids, constructions and transformations, 2D and 3D coordinates and the relationships between length, perimeter, area and volume and much more. Hundreds of problems encourage you to learn and use concepts that provide a solid foundation for success in geometry and for lasting learning. We're so sure of this, we fully guarantee your satisfaction!

In Cosmic Geometry, You'll Master These Important 7th, 8th & 9th Grade Math Topics:

• Problem Solving & Reasoning
• Attributes of Shapes & Solids
• Geometric Constructions & Transformations
• 2D & 3D Coordinates
• Length, Perimeter, Area & Angles
• Surface Area & Volume
• Geometric Terminology & Notation
• Solving for Unknowns
• Symmetry
• Mathematical Elements of Art

FREE video for parents included on CD-ROM! In Dear Parents, Edmark's Donna Stanger, a teacher for 20 years, shares thoughts about the role you can play in helping your child successfully learn math.

Unique Grow Slide Feature! Mighty Math's unique Grow Slide feature automatically records your child's progress and adjusts to guide your child's learning. The activities in Calculating Crew offer dozens of math topics and thousands of problems. Grow Slides help your child get the full benefit of the four years of math learning in every activity. As your child learns and progresses, the Grow Slides advance, offering more challenging problems. Your or your child can also set the difficulty of each activity or choose a specific topic related to schoolwork.

Graduate from the Geometry Academy.

Enroll at the Geometry Academy to learn about geometry terminology and famous mathematicians and to experiment with "hands-on" geometric models. Hexa, the hexahedron and chief reference librarian for Planet Geometry, is your guide!

Explore Geometric Relationships in a 3D Maze.

Enter Amazing Angles and help Dodeca, the dodecahedron, navigate the 3D labyrinth he calls home. Unlock secret rooms and discover new paths by solving for the relationships between length, angle, perimeter, area, dimension, surface area and volume. Every path leads to new questions and every question leads deeper into the maze.

Geometry Goes to the Movies.

You're the director in GeoMovies! Tetra, the tetrahedron, provides tools you use to solve problems and build intricate geometric constructions that you view as movies. "Scene" and "Ideas" buttons provide starting points for creative expression.

Sizzling Symmetrical Patterns Spring to Life.

Choose a shape. Now pull it, stretch it and fill it with color or art in an interlocking, symmetrical pattern. You've made a tessellation! At the Tessellation Creation Station, you develop artistic creativity while exploring shapes, patterns and symmetry.

Robots Dance Through Geometric Transformations.

Use translations (slides), rotations (turns) and reflections (flips) to assemble a robot on a 2D coordinate grid in the Robot Studio with Octa, the octahedron. Then make your robot dance in a 3D space. Predict and test solutions, search for patterns and build spatial awareness as you direct and analyze your robot's moves.
