Answer to Question #219707 in Geometry for Tina

Question

Elaborate on how you would use the Geoboard in the teaching of space and shape in Grade 8.

Answer 1

A geoboard is a manipulative used to explore basic concepts in plane geometry such as the perimeter, area, and other characteristics of triangles and polygons. It is a board with pegs in which you use rubber-bands to create triangles and polygons, in which you can then find measurements of the shapes on the plane.
