The Spirograph is a mathematical toy, which you can use for drawing nice figures. In the simplest case it exists of a fixed circle, used as a template, and a smaller rolling circle with holes.
Offer your kid to draw different figures!
For drawing a figure: Hold the template (clipping). Stick a ballpoint pen through one of the holes of the smaller circle.
Roll it inside the bigger fixed circle. Draw it on a sheet of paper.
Cogs at the edges of the circles guarantee a reliable unrolling and prevent sliding.
First at all, you can draw rosettes with five points easily.
If you go on drawing you'll get some nicely shaped rosettes. This shows the attraction of spirograph figures.
Photo the figures your kid managed to draw and upload to the App. Add some words of your kid's impressions and write wether your child likes maths!
