Vector Drawing Software in Mathematics

aspexDraw^MST is a new and excellent 2D Vector Drawing program for classroom use. It is a really easy but powerful resource useful for exploring the shapes and space area of Mathematics.

Use Square and Isometric Grid to hgelp create 2D and 3D drawings. Change scales and units of measurment.

Drawings are made using objects; lines, curves, rectangles, ellipses, clipart, images and text and a flexible measurement system allows the user to append drawn and imported objects with dimensions and angles.

About aspexDraw^MST
aspexDraw^MST is an object based, vector drawing program, which means that each shape you draw on the screen is a discreet, separate object.

You can manipulate and alter each object in a number of ways; resize, copy, move, rotate, anticlockwise or clockwise, undo, redo, group, layer and more.

Objects can be colour filled, have thicker or thinner lines, or no lines at all. There are tools to fill shapes and lines with graded colours, lines can be dashed and dotted and there are plenty of editing tools.

Edit pictures with cut, copy, paste, undo, redo, rotate, resize, move, import. See aspexDraw^MST features for the full list.

Banners and Posters

It is easy to make banners and posters in AspexDraw. An example of a banner to display an Egyptian Hieroglyphic is shown.

Unique collection of Clipart
Contains unique and very useful library of clipart. The vector clipart comprises 2D Plan View and 3D Views of different objects, chairs, tables, bathroom furniture, playground and classroom items.

The clipart is unique to Aspex Software and derived from the popular Spex+ design program.

A simple project in mathematics.

Constructing solids in aspexDrawMST and investigating their volumes.

When a solid shape is scaled larger by a factor of n, the volume of the resulting shape is increased by n³

1. Use the ‘Line Tool’ to draw a CUBE of length 15mm with aid of Isometric Grid.

2. Copy the CUBE and scale the copy by a factor of 2.

3. The volume of the scaled cube is 8 times more than the smaller cube!

4. Make 8 copies of the original CUBE and arrange them to mimic the larger CUBE.

5. What is the volume of a cube of length 15mm which is scaled larger by a factor of 4?

6. Change the units of the original CUBE to cm. Repeat steps2-5.
