Geo Board Operations and Calculations

This video tutorial demonstrates how to use a Geo board to create a rectangle and calculate its perimeter and area. It guides viewers through selecting and placing elastic bands to form a 2x3 rectangle, then explains how to determine the perimeter by adding the lengths of the sides. The tutorial also covers calculating the area by counting squares or multiplying dimensions. Additional Geo board features, such as resizing the grid and using tools like pencils and erasers, are also explored.

What is the first step in using a Geo board to create a shape?

• Turn on the grid feature

• Calculate the area of the shape

• Choose an elastic and place it on the board
