  • Use: The “geo-mat” can be placed on the floor for teaching and reviewing plane figures. Gather a group of no more than 4-5 students around the mat and ask questions such as:

      Can you find a shape that has three sides?

      Put your hand on it…triangle.

      Continue with the questions.
