POLYMORF, INC PRESS RELEASE |
|
New Math and Science Manipulative Enables a Cross-disciplinary Approach to Teaching |
Geometry, Chemistry, Engineering, and Art |
|
Polymorf can model inscription, truncation, sectioning, and space filling of polyhedra; crystal |
lattices and polyhedral frameworks; and space frame structures. |
|
VANCOUVER, WA, March 1, 2021 - Polymorf, Inc. - "Polymorf is really four sets in one," |
says the inventor, Rick Engel. "It has the educational value of a math and science manipulative, |
the versatility of a construction set toy, the realism of a model building kit, and the challenge of a |
3D puzzle." |
|
Polymorf's versatility is due to its patented connection system which permits up to six freely |
hinging building panels to be joined together edge to edge at the same time compared to just two |
panels for its leading competitor. Up to thirty panels can be clustered together to radiate out from |
a common center point. |
|
As a cross-disciplinary math and science manipulative Polymorf models can demonstrate |
concepts in such diverse fields as geometry, crystallography, biology, engineering, architecture, |
and art. As a general purpose construction set Engel asserts that the unique design of Polymorf's |
geometric shaped panels lets the shape of the model to be contoured to look life-like compared to |
the "blocky" or "stick figure" look of conventional construction sets. Also, an infinite variety of |
models can be built, not just the one the kit was made for. And, unlike pre-cut 3D jig saw puzzle |
pieces that can only be joined together one way to solve just one puzzle, with Polymorf the |
combinations are infinite for solving an infinite number of puzzles. |
|
Polymorf building panels and connectors are made from durable plastic and come in six |
vibrant colors. All products come with a 30 day money back guarantee. Polymorf sets, which |
range in price from $20 to $150, can be ordered directly from the manufacturer at |
http://www.polymorf.net. This colorful web site is populated by models of flying eagles, charging |
dinosaurs, running dudes, spinning Ferris wheels, slithering snakes, leaping frogs, speeding dune |
buggies, and rocketing space shuttles to name a few. Free original animated clip art and cartoons |
featuring Polymorf characters are presented for viewing and downloading. A lesson on the |
geometry of the Platonic solids is also offered for personal or classroom use. It demonstrates how |
the symmetry of polyhedra can be associated by means of inscription, truncation, and sectioning |
and rearrangement. The volumetric relationships of polyhedra and space filling with polyhedra are |
also covered. |
Polymorf is made with pride in the USA by Polymorf, Inc. which is located in Vancouver, WA. |
Rick Engel is the president of the company. The address is 11500 NE 76 Street, # A-3, # 309 |
