Pattern Blocks Manipulative
These virtual pattern blocks let you do everything you can with physical pattern blocks, plus much more: easily align and snap, toggle grids, and work with fractions.
Pattern Shapes
Students use Pattern Shapes to explore geometry and fractions, creating their own designs, or filling in outlines. As they work with the shapes students explore geometric relationships, think about angles, investigate symmetry, and compose and decompose larger shapes. Many of these explorations lead naturally to thinking about fractions as parts of a whole.
Attribute blocks
These virtual attribute blocks have different colors, shapes, sizes, and thicknesses. Includes grouping circles, Venn diagrams, trains.
Hands-On Math Pattern Blocks
Hands-On Math: Pattern Blocks is an interactive learning environment where students explore and discover geometric shapes and their properties. Students use the Pattern Blocks virtual manipulative to complete a variety of activities. The learning activities involve making designs and patterns, learning the names and properties of shapes, and a variety of other concepts related to beginning geometry.
Transformations
Transformations is designed teachers and students to provide interactive teaching and learning tools for the four types of geometric transformations:
- Reflections
- Rotations
- Enlargements
- Translations

Geoboard
Geoboard is a tool for exploring a variety of mathematical topics introduced in the elementary and middle grades. Learners stretch bands around the pegs to form line segments and polygons and make discoveries about perimeter, area, angles, congruence, fractions, and more.
This virtual version of the manipulative is an open-ended educational tool, ideal for elementary classrooms and other learning environments that use iPod Touches, iPhones, or iPads.
Busy Shapes
Busy Shapes helps children improve their ability to handle simple objects through a series of puzzles, in which they must change simple shapes and place them in proper holes. Along the way, the app responds to each child’s actions with positive guidance and motivation. Plus, the app’s digital exploratory playground regularly refreshes with different objects, which keeps children interested and engaged.
