Currently, Aboriginal Services does not review DVD's for our resource collection. There are resources available online and the Helping Teachers for Aboriginal Services will try and list some of the appropriate resources here. Like any resource, teachers are reminded to preview it before sharing it with students.
3D Printing Ideas
Make math manipulatives using your 3D printer. Students at Bothwell, with support from Bea Sayson designed these shapes. Download the files to make your own.
File number one G-Code File (copy and paste)
OR
File number two - STL Model File (download and import into Tinkering Suite)
I am hoping these work for you. They are the STL files. They are individual files.

Crescent shape will follow shortly.
A big thank you to Eric Banks who made this tutorial. I think it will help those of you who had trouble. He explains how to import the G-files into .... I will let him explain it in this short video! https://vimeo.com/397028351 https://pic.twitter.com/dXwXzMYqv

There is always two or more ways to get a job done!
A big thank you to @DeannaDeVita, @Keithrispin. @DoniGratton for making this happen. Last year the amazing Bee Sayson was able to make some of these shapes using her 3 D Printer.
One of the great things about Twitter is people take your ideas and run with it (yes they had permission).
Keith Rispin from West Vancouver School District took our files and converted them so they can be laser cut on wood.
According to Keith, "there are two file types, an illustrator file and an SVG file. Both can be used to laser cut the shapes."
So Surrey Shop Teachers, we need your help. Can you make some of these shapes to support our primary programs in math?
