Product Review of CanFigureIt Geometry

This platform teaches learners to work through geometric proofs with or without provided information. It offers numerous options for learners, ranging from typing in choices to choosing one of the various preset theorems available. Helpful tips are found throughout the game so that learners do not get stuck. It replaces passive involvement by allowing learners to participate actively while learning to solve geometric proofs. Teachers monitor learners on the educator’s dashboard.

What Users Love About the App
“The program is color coded and visually appealing to work with. It does a great job of integrating the formal names and theorems in a visual easy way for students go use or discover on their own.”
“This is a great program for students in algebra and geometry. I would use as a review and practice as well as in study group sessions and to also teach myself at a deeper level for the variety of concepts.”
“The visual layout and the depth of the requirements needed for students to solve the problems requires students to learn the vocabulary and more than one way to solve them. The “Lab” work required to solve the problems allows for real time practice and reinforcement of the concepts.”
“Easy to demonstrate, so that students can get a grip. It makes it, easy for me to control class, as this gives me more time to supervise my students and guide the applications of this application.”
“This interactive software enables the student to receive clues when they are trying to prove their answer is correct. I like this feature because it does not really give them the answer, but rather helps them own it by figuring it out on their own!!!”
What Users Dislike About the App
“Work out some of the bugs. I except that will be a work in progress. Give the students a way to remove statements that they discover are not necessary to the proof.”
“Make it more attractive for new learners. Some challenges for advance students, which will give them time to innovate. Short details to read, before the use of this application.”
“I think it would help the students if they could hear a voice reading the math symbols if they hover over a math statement. I also think it would be cool if they show real world images instead of just normal lines.”
“It should definitely have a training module to introduce some of the tools and mechanisms involved. Quick individual help buttons to define some of the theorems.”
“Make the homepage easier for parents to navigate. Concrete examples of how to do problems. Also includes a tutorial to clarify and tutor the student (and parent).”
