Transcribe →An Edtech Minute with Geoboard

Just like with the actual Geoboards, students stretch bands around pegs to form line segments and polygons and make discoveries about perimeter, area, angles, congruence, fractions, and more. However with the tech version, students can focus on the math concepts rather than getting frustrated with trying to manipulate the rubber bands.
