Cool idea, but no activities

This app is a good idea for students to work with shapes. My favorite feature is the box in the bottom right that shows side length measurements and area. Also, student can work with circles on the GeoBoard, which they can't make on real GeoBoards. The only thing is that this app fails to provide any activities or lesson along with the GeoBoard. Teachers could come up with some good lessons, but they could do that with a normal GeoBoard. I could see students playing around with it even more than they would a normal GeoBoard without thinking about content.
