Mathematical manipulatives

Geoboard

A geoboard is a mathematical manipulative used to explore basic concepts in plane geometry such as perimeter, area and the characteristics of triangles and other polygons. It consists of a physical board with a certain number of nails half driven in, around which are wrapped geo bands that are made of rubber. Normal rubber bands can also be used. Geoboards were invented and popularized in the 1950s by Egyptian mathematician Caleb Gattegno (1911-1988). (Wikipedia).

Lehmer Factor Stencils: A paper factoring machine before computers

In 1929, Derrick N. Lehmer published a set of paper stencils used to factor large numbers by hand before the advent of computers. We explain the math behind the stencils, which includes modular arithmetic, quadratic residues, and continued fractions, including my favourite mathematical vi
