Geoboard, by The Math Learning Center
Product Description:
Geoboard is an app for exploring mathematical topics introduced in the elementary and middle grades. It is a virtual software for stretching a rubber band around pegs to form line segments and polygons and make discoveries about perimeter, area, angles, congruence, fractions, and more.
Main Features:
- Create line segments and polygons by stretching bands around the Geoboard’s pegs.
- Choose from 5 different band colors; 8 band colors on the iPad.
- Fill individual shapes with a transparent color, or use the Fill All button to toggle all the bands between filled and unfilled.
-
iPad only:
- Switch between the standard 25-peg square board, rectangular board with 150 pegs, or a circular board with 13 pegs. The circular board enables explorations with angles, fractions, and time measurement.
- Duplicate shapes then move, rotate, or flip them to explore symmetry and congruency.
- Change the color of the selected bands.
- Display grid lines with or without numbering to more easily calculate area and identify shape locations.
- Use the drawing tools to annotate work and show understanding
- Write equations and expressions with the text tool.
Primary Specifications:
- Compatible with iPod Touches, iPhones, or iPads.
Options & Accessories:
- Available also as an HTML5 web app (see manufacturer's website).
