Teachables Geo Boards - Set of 5

Shape up your maths lessons with this versatile and interactive Geo Boards Set! Designed to engage students in hands-on geometry, these boards offer a dynamic way to explore 2D shapes, fractions, angles, and spatial reasoning. Each double-sided board features an 11 x 11 pin grid on one side-ideal for creating and analysing a variety of geometric shapes-and a 10cm circle on the reverse, clearly marked with fractional and degree indicators. This design allows students to visualise mathematical relationships while enhancing their understanding of symmetry, area, and equivalence. The boards are supplied in a set of 5, each measuring 20 x 20cm and come complete with rubber bands, making them ready for immediate classroom use. Whether used individually or in group settings, these geo boards promote exploration and deep conceptual understanding through play-based learning and tactile interaction.

Educational Benefits:

• Develops spatial reasoning and fine motor skills by constructing geometric shapes and exploring their properties.
• Reinforces understanding of fractions and degrees using the circular side with labelled sections.
• Supports the exploration of symmetry, angles, perimeter, and area in a hands-on format.
• Encourages problem-solving and mathematical language as students describe, compare, and manipulate shapes.

Classroom Ideas:

• Have students recreate 2D shapes and classify them based on sides, angles, or symmetry using the grid side.
• Use the circle side to introduce fractions, then have students identify equivalent fractions using bands.
• Challenge students to build shapes with a specified perimeter or area, enhancing problem-solving skills.
• Create a symmetry station where students replicate symmetrical designs or reflect shapes across an axis.
