By using the controls at the bottom of the interactivity you can change the number of points around the circle - or select a geoboard with a central pin - or create a square pinboard.<br></br> Click on the colour bands, then drag the band you create onto the board. To attach them you will need to pull them over the pegs. To change their position - or remove them - &quot;loop&quot; them off each peg in turn.<br></br> <br></br> <a href="/content/id/2883/circleAngles.swf">Full Screen Version</a><br></br> <mdo:flash height="400" width="550"><param value="/content/id/2883/circleAngles.swf" name="movie" ></param><param value="7" name="flashplayerversion" ></param><param value="400" name="height" ></param><param value="550" name="width" ></param></mdo:flash><br></br> <br></br> If you would like to work on paper, the <a href="http://nrich.maths.org/public/viewer.php?obj_id=6676&amp;part=index"> Printable Resources page</a> has links to printable sheets of circles with a range of numbers of circumferential dots.<br></br></mdoxml> 2 3 1 0 0 0 0 A virtual geoboard that allows you to create shapes by stretching rubber bands between pegs on the board.
