Shape up! Using the Tools of the Times!

Amazed at the number of inventive posts in the Apple Education Community on creative ways to use and learn about shapes. (Just use the Search tool 🔍 in the upper right).

 Using tools to teach young learners about shapes is not a new concept as we can see from this primary source from the Library of Congress.

Grade school, Washington, D.C. - children drawing and cutting rectangles, triangles, etc.

But using the Apple tools of our times along with primary sources can be a magical way of introducing concepts and engaging students.

Happy Birthday Apple 🎂 50 years!
