Enormous fun! The
improved classroom favourite Spex+V2 is a simple way to model familiar
situations. Design rooms in a home in 2D Plan View and see them in the
3D View, use a budget, and display the objects in the design on a simple
spreadsheet.
The new Spex+V2 is more
colourful and intuitive than ever, with budgeting, 2D and 3D graphs and
charts. Teachers love Spex+ and pupils just won’t leave it alone! It has
proved its worth in Design&Technology,
Maths and for ICT
