Learning Resources LER0425 5-Inch Double-Sided Assorted Geoboard Shapes, Multi-Color, 5 Inch

Product Information

Originally made out of plywood and brass nails or pegs, geoboards are now usually made out of plastic. A Geoboard is a mathematical tool made up of pegs sticking out of a square base, allowing pupils to wrap elastic bands around the pegs to create different shapes. A geoboard is a mathematical manipulative used to explore basic concepts in plane geometry such as perimeter, area and the characteristics of triangles and other polygons.

Our virtual geoboard gives you all the fun and learning that comes with geoboards without the mess or stress. Display grid lines with or without numbering to more easily calculate area and identify shape locations. Switch between the standard 25-peg square board, a rectangular board with 150 pegs, or a circular board with 13 pegs. The Geoboard app is a tool for exploring a variety of mathematical topics introduced in the elementary and middle grades. The log slices are as smooth as is possible, you can either use it as it is or smooth down more by sanding.These colorful isometric 9″ (23cm) square geoboards are double-sided with an 11 x 11 pin grid array on one side and an 11 x 11 triangular pin array on the other. Invite students to explore geometric shapes and also explore their artistic side with the online geoboard. Geoboards were invented and popularized in the 1950s by Egyptian mathematician Caleb Gattegno (1911-1988). They make a great introductory topic on both Geoboards and shapes in general and are ideal for KS1 students. The first offers guidance about the use of manipulatives generally and the second explains why we have selected these particular activities.

Are you looking for a fun way to explore spatial relationships and geometrical concepts with your students? First, choose your board type by tapping on the “array 10×10” button and selecting from the options.Learners stretch bands around the pegs to form line segments and polygons and make discoveries about perimeter, area, angles, congruence, fractions, and more. This app was crafted by Clarity Innovations: “We improve teaching and learning by creating solutions that match promising technologies with the needs of education.
