Blooprints
Scuttlers (weird alien creatures) need accommodation, but they’re fussy and want housing to suit their own particular sense of style. Orders go to the scuttler architect who builds a small model making sure that each scuttler receives a completely original house.
Educational outcomes...
Working mathematically: contextualise mathematics
Measurement: volume
Space: exploring 2D & 3D shapes
Recognising the attributes of a 3D shape, the amount of space or volume it occupies and how it looks from different views, forms the basis of being able to draw, manipulate and use 3d objects. This has practical benefits for daily living and for many occupations such as architecture, sculpting, pottery, technical drafting etc.
Thinking laterally, visualising consequences and generating new ideas and solutions to problems have become essential skills for living in today’s society. Children acquire these skills through creative play, problem solving and exploring and testing their ideas.
During Blooprints the player explores 3D shapes, the volume or space the shapes occupy and how they appear from different views while having the flexibility to create, experiment and try out ideas.
