Initial state of the simulation

The link to the simulation can be found here.

Description

This is a simple interactive, where students can use the available shapes to construct and build larger geometric shapes of varying sizes. Each of the available shapes is constructed using an equilateral triangle as its base, with the area of each shape being a multiple of the area of the base triangle. Students are also allowed to rotate and erase existing shapes in the play area via the toggles provided. The objective of this interactive is to simply allow students to experiment with different combinations and arrangements of shapes to form interesting patterns and figures.
