geoboards
Rubber band math
A geoboard is a flat board studded with pegs in a grid pattern, used for teaching geometry and spatial reasoning.
Students stretch rubber bands between pegs to form shapes, exploring concepts like area, perimeter, and angles: The children made triangles on their geoboards.
Common in elementary math education.
