Geoboard is a tool for exploring a variety of mathematical topics introduced in the elementary and middle grades. Learners stretch bands around the pegs to form line segments and polygons and make discoveries about perimeter, area, angles, congruence, fractions, and more.
This virtual version of the manipulative is an open-ended educational tool, ideal for elementary classrooms and other learning environments that use iPod Touches, iPhones, or iPads.

FEATURES
ââ¬Â¢ Create line segments and polygons by stretching bands around the Geoboard's pegs.
ââ¬Â¢ Choose from 5 different band colors; 8 band colors on the iPad.
ââ¬Â¢ Fill individual shapes with a transparent color, or use the Fill All button to toggle all the bands between filled and unfilled.
iPad only:
ââ¬Â¢ Switch between the standard 25-peg square board, a rectangular board with 150 pegs, or a circular board with 13 pegs. The circular board enables explorations with angles, fractions, and time measurement.
ââ¬Â¢ Duplicate shapes then move, rotate, or flip them to explore symmetry and congruency.
ââ¬Â¢ Change the color of selected bands.
ââ¬Â¢ Display grid lines with or without numbering to more easily calculate area and identify shape locations.
ââ¬Â¢ Use the drawing tools to annotate work and show understanding
ââ¬Â¢ Write equations and expressions with the text tool.

OVERVIEW:
Geoboard, by The Math Learning Center is a free educational mobile app By Clarity Innovations, Inc..It helps students in grades 3,4,5 practice the following standards 3.G.1,4.MD.3,5.G.B.4.
This page not only allows students and teachers download Geoboard, by The Math Learning Center but also find engaging Sample Questions, Videos, Pins, Worksheets, Books related to the following topics.
1. 3.G.1 : Understand that shapes in different categories (e.g., rhombuses, rectangles, and others) may share attributes (e.g., having four sides), and that the shared attributes can define a larger category (e.g., quadrilaterals). Recognize rhombuses, rectangles, and squares as examples of quadrilaterals, and draw examples of quadrilaterals that do not belong to any of these subcategories..
2. 4.MD.3 : Apply the area and perimeter formulas for rectangles in real world and mathematical problems. For example, find the width of a rectangular room given the area of the flooring and the length, by viewing the area formula as a multiplication equation with an unknown factor..
3. 5.G.B.4 : Classify two-dimensional figures in a hierarchy based on properties..
