shapes on a geoboard- with the iPad

The Butterflies' understanding of shape attributes was supported through the use of the Hands On Math Geoboard iPad app.

The Geoboard app was mirrored on the SMARTboard from my (the teacher's) iPad to introduce the app, explain "how" to utilize the app, and as a common visual reference for reinforcing the students' understanding as shapes were created, attributes identified and discussed, and...

The Butterfly Mathematicians created shapes on the Geoboard app cooperatively with a partner on the student iPads.

The Butterfly Mathematicans collaboratively identified and determine defining and non-defining attributes of shapes and collaboratively determined a shape, created a shape, and described a shape relevant to shape attributes.
