Geoboard Activities with Unique Geoboards

I love using geoboards with my students and at home with my son. A geoboard usually incorporates pegs of some kind, along with rubber bands or loops. They’re used to explore a variety of math concepts such as shapes, counting, and area. Obviously, the concepts explore depend on the age of the child. Below are some awesome homemade geoboards and a variety of geoboard activities to try with them.
