Fun Activities

Uses and learning and intellectual development

  • For making different patterns in a plane (2D) space
  • Learning concept of plane, grid, intersection point, horizontal, vertical
  • Making lines, intersection of lines, parallel lines, perpendicular lines, transversal lines
  • Leaning counting and multiplication
  • Making polyominoes – how same area can have different orientations in space
  • Orientation and symmetry of shapes in a plane
  • Area and perimeter, how those are related and different
  • Dissections and combinations of 2D shapes
  • String art and making patterns with it
  • Transformation of 2D shape – a polygon into another shape
  • Learning fractions – parts and whole
  • Random walks & lattice polygons
  • Making puzzles – e.g. how many shapes within a shape, how many paths from point ‘a’ to ‘b’

Making Shapes and Polygons

  • Can you make a triangle?
  • Can you make a square?
  • Can you make different shapes (4 sides, 5 and so on till 12-gon)?
  • What is maximum size of triangle you can make?
  • What minimum size of triangle can you make?
  • Which regular polygons can you make on this grid?

 

Counting and Multiplication

  • Can you make rectangles and count squares in it?
  • Can you counting all 4-side shapes (tetragons) within a rectangle?
  • Can you make a polygon by combining more shapes?
  • Can you make rectangle of (m x n) size?
  • Can you find area of (m x n) rectangle?
  • How concept of area relates to multiplication?

 

Computing Area and Perimeter

  • Can you find area of tetragons?
  • Can you find area of (right angle) triangles?
  • How triangle area is related to rectangle?
  • How different triangles may have same area (e.g. where base and height is same)?
  • How shapes of same perimeter may have different area?
  • How shapes of same area may have different perimeter?
  • How can area be measured (usually by addition) sometimes by subtraction?

 

Making Patterns in Space

  • How can you make various patterns for space filling?
  • How can you double a square?
  • How can you half a square?
  • How can you fill a polygon with triangles?
  • How can you fill a polygon with similar polygons?
  • How can you fill a polygon with different polygons?
  • Can you make two similar polygons.

    Really excited to see my kids learn mathematical concepts in a fun learning way!!

    I bought the Geoboard for my 6 year old son who loves math and geometry. He was very excited to try it out and explore different shapes and patterns. He learned how to make polygons, measure angles, calculate area and perimeter, and compare fractions. He also enjoyed creating his own designs and challenges. The Geoboard is very easy to use and has many features that make it fun and educational. You can choose from different colors, shapes, and sizes of bands, and fill them with different colors. You can also switch between a square, a rectangle, or a circle board, and display grid lines and numbers. The tool also allows you to save and share your work with others. The Geoboard is a great tool for mathematical exploration and creativity. It helps develop spatial reasoning, problem solving, and geometric thinking skills. I highly recommend it for anyone who wants to learn and have fun with math.
