Eisco Garage Physics Trigonometry Exploration Puzzle Set

• Why can't we learn mathematics with our hands and our brains?! This block kit puts trigonometry directly in your hands. Sine, Cosine, Tangent, and the other trig functions take physical form and become real. Students can explore, with their own hands, the definition of the radian unit of angular measurement and even come up with their approximation of Pi.
• The material is high-quality precision-cut Birch Verner pure bond plywood.
• No assembly required.
• Kit comes with a step-by-step educational guide.
• Includes the unit circle, three 30-60-90 triangles, two 45-45-90 triangles, two circular sectors, and Kepler's triangle.

The trigonometric functions are some of the most important and useful tools within STEM fields. They show up from engineering to quantum mechanics and everything in between. This block kit gives physical intuition to this critical STEM tool. Kit includes the unit circle and the ever-important 30-60-90 and 45-45-90 triangles. The included pedagogy walks students through the definition of all six trigonometric functions and uses the properties of similar triangles and the Pythagorean theorem to help students establish the critical relationships between them. Also included are 1 radian and 2 radian circular sectors. These allow students to explore the definition of the radian unit of angular measurement with their hands. They can then use these tools to come up with their very own approximation of Pi. Finally, Kepler's triangle (which is related to the Fibonacci sequence) provides a vehicle to test one's understanding since the trig functions of its angles can all be expressed in terms of the golden ratio.

What Educators are Saying About Geyer

Justin has been nothing but helpful and professional in my requests for these Boeing Defense requirements. He has been able to answer my questions and concerns quickly, and helped in securing the order that I may have made with another supplier had be not been the value-add that he is to your company. I hope his merit raise this FY was "exceeds expectations".

..I contacted Geyer via email. I had an email back within minutes!.. A back and forth via email sometimes takes days with other companies and customer service doesn’t happen like this very often. When it does, it’s much appreciated. Brett at Geyer was very polite and accommodating!

The customer service rep went as far as to reach out to the manufacturer of a product to answer my question, and then provided pictures. She really went above and beyond and answered the question thoroughly and gave me exactly the information I was looking for. This entire process was also extremely fast.

I called to ask how to submit a Tax Exempt Certificate for my library and spoke to a real person, no automation or asking me to press a number. He was friendly, helpful and got our Tax Exempt status established immediately.

...I don't think I've ever experienced that level of customer service before, and taking it into consideration along with the quality of their products, I would absolutely recommend Geyer to fellow teachers.
