Teachers can use Toyineer projects to address selected Delaware Science and Mathematics Standards through hands-on mechanical construction.
Alignment reviewed October 2026.
Standards and evidence.
These alignments use only the ordinary Toyineer construction process. They do not depend on a separate extension activity.
I. Delaware Science Standards: Forces and Interactions
KindergartenK-PS2-1
Compare how pushes and pulls of different strengths or directions affect the motion of an object.
During ordinary assembly and testing, learners push and pull moving components and can compare how changes in direction or relative effort affect the resulting motion.
Grade 33-PS2-1
Investigate how balanced and unbalanced forces affect the motion of an object.
Toyineer mechanisms make balanced and unbalanced forces visible. Learners can observe a mechanism at rest, apply force, and explain why a part begins moving, stops or changes direction.
Grade 33-PS2-2
Use observations or measurements of motion as evidence that a recurring pattern can be used to predict future motion.
Rockers, followers, push rods and other constrained components follow repeatable paths. Learners can observe one cycle of a working toy and predict where or in which direction the moving part will travel next.
II. Delaware Mathematics Standards: Geometry
KindergartenK.G.3
Identify shapes as two-dimensional (flat) or three-dimensional (solid).
Toyineer begins with flat printed parts and transforms them into three-dimensional structures, giving educators a direct physical example of the distinction between 2-D and 3-D form.
Grade 11.G.2
Compose two-dimensional or three-dimensional shapes to create a composite shape.
Learners combine separate cut, folded and assembled components into larger structures and ultimately into one composite mechanical object.
Teachers can use Toyineer projects to address these standards. Students also gain skill in their use of tools and appreciate the importance of accuracy in engineering.
