Hands-On Math Geoboard iPad App

A Virtual Geoboard for Real Learning...

Hands-On Math Geoboard in Action

Our Geoboard is a very useful way for student's to visualize shapes which leads to a better understanding of geometry. Use the Hands-on Math Geoboard to have students draw and analyze figures. Using simple gestures colors and shapes can be selected and drawn on the Geoboard. Use the Geoboard to illustrate the properties of shapes, geometric ideas such as symmetry and basic formulas used to compute area, perimeter and circumference.

Drawing a Triangle	Using the Geoboard to Teach Symmetry

Constructing Basic Shapes	Exploring Area and Perimeter

Plotting Figures on a Coordinate Grid

The Hands-On Math Geoboard creates a virtual geoboard on your iPad. It simulates the use of a popular math manipulative used to teach basic geometry and is perfect for elementary and middle school classrooms. A geoboard is one of the best ways to help students explore and discover geometry. Students draw line segments, rectangles or circles on a 5x5 pegboard. As they draw geometric feedback is reported on a note card helping students better understand length, perimeter, and area.	Using Hands-On Math Geooard students can develop the following important mathematical concepts: Properties of shapes Composing and decomposing plane figures Measurement Naming numbers Symmetry Drawing and analyzing two-dimensional shapes Congruence and Similarity Naming and recognization basic shapes Length, area, perimeter, circumference, radius and diameter Coordinate Geometry
