The summer travel season is just weeks away, and as people decide what to do and where to go, many may choose to visit a new city. In the City Tour (Coordinates) Gizmo, students can explore new (fictitious) cities and learn a little math along the way.
In the Gizmo, students navigate around cities on a grid-like map. The locations of some landmarks are shown on the map, while others are only indicated by coordinates. Students can move to the different locations by clicking directional arrows or inputting distances. As students do this, they make connections between a location’s address (such as 2nd Avenue and 7th Street), its coordinates (2, 7), and how far they travel east/west and north/south to get there. Prepare students for pre-algebra in a fun (and sometimes silly) way with the City Tour Gizmo!
Bring science to life with real-life STEM cases.
Gizmos STEM Cases put students in the roles of professionals tasked with solving real-world STEM problems — just like real scientists.

Hello, Ms. D. I apologize about emailing you during the weekend, but I couldn’t wait to tell you. Gizmos is so much fun, and I absolutely love it. I actually learn something and I like the fact that it is interactive. Thank you so much for making us do Gizmos.
- Gizmos Student, American International School, Abu DhabiI really love Gizmos as they help students grasp difficult concepts that can’t always be seen. They make abstract ideas come to life.
- Gizmos Teacher, Foothills School Division, Alberta, CanadaI’m really a strong proponent of Gizmos in science because I have seen firsthand what it does in terms of engaging kids in labs. Gizmos really allow students to go deeper in terms of problem solving and critical thinking.
- Gizmos Assistant Superintendent, Miami-Dade Public Schools, FLGizmos STEM Cases improve students’ content knowledge and critical thinking ability. The kids are putting more thought into things and they’re asking better questions.
- Gizmos Director of Science, Gwinnett County Public Schools, GAGizmos STEM Cases is the most engaging program that I’ve ever seen! High-quality graphics and real-world stories make them more thought-provoking than traditional teaching materials. Students become more personally invested in the lessons and feel a sense of accomplishment [when doing them].
- Gizmos Director of Science, Walker School, GAGizmos have earned every major edtech award!
