Teachables Geoboard - Plastic, 27 cm

This giant double-sided Geoboard is a versatile and engaging hands-on tool for teaching a wide range of mathematical concepts, particularly in geometry and spatial reasoning. Measuring a generous 27 cm square, it features an 11 x 11 pin array on one side-ideal for exploring shapes, symmetry, area, perimeter, and coordinate grids-and a 29-pin circular array on the reverse for investigations into angles, rotational symmetry, and circle-based geometry.:

Its large size makes it perfect for both individual and group work, with enough space for students to create complex shapes using elastic bands. This resource encourages active learning and is especially useful for visual and tactile learners.

Educational Benefits

• Reinforces understanding of 2D shapes, area, and perimeter.
• Supports lessons on symmetry, angles, and coordinate systems.
• Encourages creativity and hands-on exploration of geometric concepts.
• Aids in the visualisation of mathematical relationships through manipulation.

Classroom Ideas

• Use the square grid side to explore area by creating different-sized rectangles.
• Investigate rotational and reflective symmetry using the circular side.
• Challenge students to form specific polygons or replicate teacher-created shapes.
• Introduce angle estimation and measurement activities using the circle array.
