Geoboard
Stretch rubber bands between pegs to make shapes, then see each shape's area and perimeter. Copy shapes from the challenge cards or make your own.
Angle Maker
Turn a ray around an on-screen protractor to make and measure angles, name them acute, right, obtuse or reflex, then estimate angles in a game.
Coordinate Hunt
Find hidden treasure by plotting and reading points on a coordinate grid. First quadrant for beginners, all four quadrants for grade 6 and up.
