| Comment: | Can't think of any feature that you lose from peg/rubber bands to this tool. And without the pain of using rubber bands in school! |

| Comment: | A very handy and an efficient tool. The screen should be bigger to accomodate more figures. |

| Comment: | Great way to discuss differences of perimeter and area; how perimeter affects area! |

| Comment: | I love this! Our school is very tech friendly, each kid having their own laptop, so this would be perfect. No more rubber bands - which snap frequently and which invite children to flick! |
