Noticing Tools Augmented Reality Apps
Students learn best by "doing" math and science.
Overview
We developed five “noticing tools” to help students recognize invisible scientific and mathematical forces at work while they’re at play. Using iPads, students learn about everything from proportions and fractions to physics and 3D modeling, while participating in activities they enjoy.

“These apps turn an iPad into a serious tool of inquiry .”
The Details
It’s no secret that tests and textbooks might not be the best way to teach a class of energetic students. Educators like the team at NYSCI (the New York Hall of Science) are on the hunt for a better method. Funded by a grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, we partnered with NYSCI to teach science and math out of the classroom and empower students to take learning into their own hands.
Using the powerful suite of sensors built into Apple iPads to make math and science concepts come alive, we create a suite of five apps that tackled everything from "Playground Physics" to "Choreo Graph," which connects geometry to choreography.
