What is a geoboard?
  • The geoboard is a device used in elementary
    schools to aid in the teaching of basic geometric
    concepts. Geoboards may be purchased commercially
    from the usual supply houses or they may be
    constructed out of common household materials
    using common tools. A simple geoboard can be made
    from a square piece of wood and 25 finishing
    nails. A grid of 5 vertical lines and 5
    horizontal lines evenly spaced are drawn on the
    square piece of wood. Nails are placed at the
    intersections of the lines so that they extend
    about one centimeter.
