Geoboard, known as "geoplano".

This is a manipulative teaching resource that you can use in your class in order to teach geometric shapes. This material can help the students to understand abstract concepts since they can create polygons and figures with this resource.

It is a square board on which tacks or nails are placed so that you can create polygonal figures stretching rubber bands across the tacks. This way, we are teaching geometric concepts through a manipulative way, carrying out the methodology "learning by doing",  where the student learn by practising.

We can also use the geoboard in order to learn about symmetry axis and translation. For instance, we ask the student to complete a symmetric figure or to move it some tacks to the right. Children will love working with this material because they are learning and playing at the same time,

so let's use it in our classes!
