GeoBoard is a great app for mathematical manipulation and discovering the basic concepts of geometry. This app is appropriate for all grade levels from kindergarten through high school. While developing concepts about geometry, students are able to manipulate angles, calculated area/perimeter, and explore the relationship between specific shapes. It is also a great way to practice spatial relationship skills. In order to determine if students have understanding, have them hold up their virtual geo-board each time they've completed the question. The virtual design of this app is excellent! Fifth grade students just used this app on iPads to review for a test. . . by Donna Mazur
