How to Use the Interactive Figure

We will refer to the pegs that the rubber band is attached to as nodes. To begin, click on the rubber-band box and drag a rubber band to the geoboard. Click on a node to attach one end of the rubber band to that node. Move the mouse and click on another node to attach the other end of the rubber band to that node.

To attach the rubber band to more than two nodes, drag the rubber band from the middle.

To move a rubber band to a new node, click on the current node and drag the rubber band to the desired node.

To remove a rubber band from a node, click on the node to select it (a double circle appears), then click on the Delete Node button.

To delete a rubber band, click on it to select it, then click the Delete Band button.

To clear the geoboard, click on the Clear Allbutton.

To color the interior of a shape, click on the rubber band and then click on a color.
