This week I chose to do the lesson on geoboards titled Making Fourths. This activity is designed for grades 3-4. The main purpose of it is to get students to understand and learn how to create fourths using their boards. In addition, it gives students the opportunity to see How many ways they can show fourths on their Geoboard?
• Use as many rubber bands as you need to divide your Geoboard into 4 equal parts.
• Do this in as many different ways as you can.
• Record each of your solutions on geodot paper.
• Compare your results with the rest of your group’s.
• Be ready to explain why each of your solutions shows fourths.

Virtual Manipulatives- Geobaords-Geometry gr 3-5
The virtual manipulative I was exploring with is the Geobaords for grades 3-5. I really enjoyed playing around with this because you are not actually working with rubber bands. I also liked that it gives you different problems to solve like create the letter W or symmetry problems such as completing the other side of a tree. However, what i did not like is that it does not assess your work. Students will not know if they completed it correctly.
