The Geoboard app is a tool for exploring a variety of mathematical topics introduced in the elementary and middle grades. Made from durable transparent plastic, the 11 x 11 pin Transparent Geoboard is ideal for maths learning in the classroom and at home. 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. It consists of a physical board with a certain number of nails half driven in, around which are wrapped geo bands that are made of rubber.

Geoboards were invented and popularized in the 1950s by Egyptian mathematician Caleb Gattegno (1911-1988). Learning and reinforcing directional and positional words (up, down, right, left, vertical, horizontal, diagonal, etc. The log slices are as smooth as is possible, you can either use it as it is or smooth down more by sanding. Are you looking for a fun way to explore spatial relationships and geometrical concepts with your students? 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.

In this feature, we bring together activities which make use of the geoboard or pegboard, which is a wonderful resource for developing children's understanding of properties of shape, area and angles. This is why all of our fun maths resources are created by a talented team of fully qualified teachers who know the KS1 maths curriculum inside and out. 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. Using the right tools I found these straightforward to make and they really did make a cute activity to do with my little ones! What’s more, our maths resources will not only suit your children or pupil’s learning styles, but they’ll suit your teaching style, too!Two-dimensional representations of the geoboard may be applied to ordinary paper using rubber stamps or special "geoboard paper" with diagrams of geoboards may be used to help capture a student's explanations of the concept they have discovered or illustrated on the geoboard. These colorful double-sided 6″ (15cm) square geoboards feature a 24-pin circular array on one side and a 5 x 5 pin grid array on the other. Fill individual shapes with color, or use the Fill All tool to toggle all the bands between filled and unfilled.
