Best Geometry Games, Apps, and Websites for Kids

Though geometry can mean proofs and angles, it goes way beyond the stuff we have to learn in schools. For little kids, it's all about learning shapes. Kids can also start to practice spatial reasoning to help them understand how shapes fit together. And then kids can explore symmetry, area, and 3D models! Use these apps, sites, and games to get kids thinking about these concepts, and check out some of our other math-related lists to find even more helpful tools!
