Math and Engineering have always been hard subjects. But what if children could learn by applying it in their everyday surroundings, while having fun. That’s where Trigmate provides an unique and effective solution.
Trigmate is the world's first simple to use math and engineering learning device that breaks down complex concepts like Geometry, Trigonometry, and Experimental Design into three simple steps of AIM-MEASURE-DISCOVER. Trigmate helps children ages 9-16 or Grades 4 - 10 apply such concepts in their everyday surroundings. Its a great hands-on device to help kids visualize, understand theory fundamentals, and calculate real world measurements in a fun, and experimental way.
Learn Why Math and Science Teachers Love Trigmate
Trigmate is perfect for classrooms, camps, libraries, virtual learning, and STEM activities. Trigmate helps kids apply math concepts as well as breakdown and visualize abstract concepts like trigonometry and experimental design in a fun, tangible way. It works great in math stations, applied science studies, introducing math principles, and for learning engineering and architectural concepts. Trigmate is hands-on (no screens or batteries needed), easy to use in 3 simple steps, and the application of math is all right there in front of you.

What do I need to know to teach with Trigmate?
You don't have to install an app or charge a device: just pull it out of the box and it is ready to go! If students are able to read and apply basic addition, subtraction and multiplication, they are all set. We recommend instructors to work through a few problems on their own to get familiar with the Trigmate, handbook activities and its parts.
We have few videos to help guide students in the classroom: Getting Started with Trigmate and How to Apply Trigonometry Around You
Appropriate Age Range
Trigmate is great for ages 8 to adult - and that is not a stretch! We find that kids 8-12 are able to get through the first 20-30 activities quite easily. High-schoolers can apply complex trig in the next set of handbook activities. Younger kids enjoy the first 10 activities by being able to make basic measurements and angulations using objects and things around them.
Sales Forms
Schools and teachers who are ready to order can send us a note from the contact page. We’ll provide you with Educator Resources when you sign-up with your school email account.
