Description / Large Plastic Geometric Solids - Set of 12
Make learning geometry fun and interactive with these durable and classroom-friendly plastic colourful 3D geometric shapes.
Designed to encourage hands-on exploration, the physical examples of 3D shapes help children develop an understanding of geometry through building, sorting, comparing and investigating.
Building Early Geometric Understanding
These geometric shapes provide opportunities for children to:
- Recognise and name 3D shapes
- Explore shape properties such as faces, edges, vertices, flat surfaces and curved surfaces.
- Compare 2D and 3D shapes such as a square and a cube.
- Develop spatial awareness by exploring position, direction, and spatial relationships.
- Investigate how shapes behave (shapes that roll, slide, stack or balance).
- Compare shapes and notice similarities and differences in their structures.
Beyond Geometry
Beyond geometry, these versatile 3D shapes support a range of important developmental skills such as problem-solving, critical thinking, hand-eye coordination, communication, mathematical vocabulary, creativity, and teamwork.
The 12-piece set comprises the key shapes in six colours - orange, purple, blue, yellow, red, and green. The set includes a cone, cylinder, sphere, hemisphere, pentagonal pyramid, pentagonal prism, square pyramid, square prism, triangular pyramid, triangular prism, rectangular prism, and hexagonal prism.
Why Choose 3D Geometric Solids?
These geometric shapes help transform abstract mathematical concepts into fun and concrete experiences. They encourage children to become active learners, explore mathematical ideas through play and develop confidence.
