Abstract: A system of tasks for counting isosceles trapezoids and 3D auxiliary models for them is presented. Steps for working with the 3D printed manipulatives during independent work, expected errors in counting the specific geometric figures, and ways to rationalize the counting by symmetry are described. Options for creating the auxiliary files using the XYZmaker3Dkit software product are considered.

Keywords: 3D printing, mathematics education, didactic resources, manipulatives, digital competence, visually impaired people
