Teachers can use Toyineer projects to address selected Maryland 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. Maryland Next Generation Science Standards: Forces and Motion
KindergartenK-PS2-1
Compare how different strengths or directions of pushes and pulls 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 the effects of balanced and unbalanced forces on 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 an object's motion as evidence that a recurring pattern can be used to predict future motion.
Rockers, followers, push rods and other constrained parts follow repeatable paths. Learners can observe one cycle and predict the next position or direction of the moving component.
II. 2025 Maryland College and Career Ready Standards for Mathematics: Geometric Reasoning
KindergartenK.GR.B.6
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.
KindergartenK.GR.B.8
Draw two-dimensional shapes and build or create models of three-dimensional shapes.
The ordinary Toyineer process turns printed two-dimensional profiles into assembled three-dimensional components, so the learner physically constructs the relationship described by the standard.
Grade 11.GR.B.4
Compose two-dimensional or three-dimensional shapes to create a composite shape and compose new shapes from the composite shape.
Learners combine separate cut, folded and assembled components into larger structures and ultimately into one composite mechanical object.
Grade 44.GR.C.8
Draw and identify points, lines, line segments, rays, angles, and perpendicular and parallel lines in two-dimensional figures.
Toyineer blueprint parts contain visible parallel and perpendicular edges, line segments and angular relationships that educators can identify directly during the normal construction process.
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.
