While we've taken care to design and create The MATHEMATIK 3D printed project with safety in mind, it's important to remember that the safety of your child ultimately rests with you as the parent or guardian. By choosing to print and allow your child to play with The MATHEMATIK project, you acknowledge that you are solely responsible for supervising its use and ensuring that it is age-appropriate and safe for your child. We are not responsible for any accidents, injuries, or damages that may occur as a result of the use of The MATHEMATIK project. Please use your discretion and supervise your child accordingly. -----
The MATHEMATIK:
Welcome to The MATHEMATIK, a dynamic math learning platform designed to engage and educate children in the fascinating world of numbers and mathematical operations.
The MATHEMATIK offers an interactive and hands-on approach to learning mathematics for children of all ages in an engaging and accessible way.
Start by printing a Number Base and some Number Pieces. The base is where the pieces are arranged to build the numbers allowing your child to manipulate and visualize numbers in a tangible and fun way. As your child learns, print more bases and pieces.
As your child progresses and becomes more comfortable with numbers, you can print additional bases and pieces to expand their understanding of larger digits for more complex numerical concepts.
Later on, you can enhance the experience by printing and introducing mathematical symbols to explore mathematical operations such as addition, subtraction and more.
Additionally, we've designed extra pieces to aid in practicing telling time, including the two dots segment for hours, and a slanted bar to indicate dates.
The MATHEMATIK is not just a learning tool—it's an immersive experience that encourages curiosity, critical thinking, and a love for mathematics. Whether your child is just beginning their mathematical journey or looking to deepen their understanding of mathematical concepts, The MATHEMATIK provides a fun and engaging platform for exploration and discovery.
The MATHEMATIK: Making math fun and interactive for kids! -----
The MATHEMATIK Cards:
Unlock the full potential of math learning with The MATHEMATIK Cards—a versatile and engaging addition to The MATHEMATIK platform.
One option is to print cards featuring individual numbers. Your child can draw a card and then use the 3D printed Base and Pieces to replicate the number shown on the card. This activity not only helps improve their number recognition skills but also allows them to practice arranging the pieces to form different numbers.
Another exciting option is to create cards with mathematical equations. For added challenge, you can omit certain elements of the equation, such as the result, a number, or the mathematical symbols. This encourages critical thinking and problem-solving as your child figures out how to complete the equation.
But don't stop there—get creative and design your own challenges! Whether it's creating patterns, solving puzzles, or inventing new games, the possibilities are endless with The MATHEMATIK Cards.
Share your innovative challenges and ideas with the community as a remix of The MATHEMATIK project, inspiring others to join in on the math learning fun! -----
Parts Variations:
For the Number Base, two variations are available: one with round pegs and another with chamfered pegs. This allows flexibility for those who may encounter printing issues with round shapes.
As for the Symbols, there are three options. Symbols A feature holes underneath to sit on top of the Number Base. Note that there are both Round and Chamfer versions to correspond with the respective Number Base designs. Symbols B, on the other hand, have notches designed for interconnection with a Number Base.
Choose the option that best suits your printing capabilities and preferences! -----
Printing Recommendation:
The MATHEMATIK is best printed using the following settings:
Nozzle: 0.4mm Layer height: 0.3mm Walls (perimeter): 3 (1.2mm) Top and Bottom Layers: 4 (1.2mm) Infill: Gyroid (or preferred option) with a 3 to 4mm gap or as needed You can pause the printing process before the symbol is printed to change the filament color if desired, of use a multi material printer.
For safety and durability, we recommend using PETG or stronger materials. -----
Conclusion:
Your feedback drives The MATHEMATIK forward! Feel free to share your ideas, suggestions, and if you're inclined, you can also support the project with a contribution. Your involvement, whether through ideas or donations, fuels our efforts to make math education engaging and accessible for all. Let's collaborate and bring new possibilities to life!
May your math journey begin!
