Thinking Blocks is a suite of learning tools designed to help students solve math word problems accurately and efficiently. Using brightly colored blocks, students model mathematical relationships and identify known and unknown quantities. The model provides students with a powerful image that organizes information and simplifies the problem solving process. By modeling increasingly complex word problems, students develop strong reasoning skills which will facilitate the transition from arithmetic to algebra.
There is no dearth of good 3D modeling software in the market but usually all of them cost an arm and a leg. Sculptris is a free 3D modeling program that offers you the same thing free of cost. Once downloaded, this free software lets you create 3D models and customize them using tons of features.
