About Geometry Playground

Geometry Playground is a six-chapter high school geometry curriculum built around Swift Playgrounds. Students learn mathematical concepts by writing code that draws them. Each chapter introduces a new programming idea alongside the mathematics it makes possible, from simple sequences through to composite figures.

The curriculum is aligned with Integrated Mathematics 1 (IM1), with extensions into IM2 and IM3. It targets Year 9 to Year 11 (Grade 9 to Grade 11), and runs on iPad or Mac via the Swift Playgrounds app.

Author: Daniel Budd, Apple Distinguished Educator, Hong Kong International School.
