Using the comprehensive range of pieces, the whole class can investigate a broad spectrum of mathematics and technology subjects, including 2D and 3D geometry, sorting, sequencing, classifying, and problem solving. 

As is typical of Polydron products, the shapes can be readily joined together using a unique clip hinge on the shape’s edge. In the Frameworks Multi Set, the variety of shapes supplied enable students to create large, complex structures, which remain lightweight and classroom friendly. 

Cut-out feature

The cut-out feature of Frameworks allows for the investigation of internal and external structure in terms of angles, faces, edges and so on. 

Sensory pieces

As an accessible practical resource, these shapes appeal to multiple age groups and ability brackets. Each piece is textured on one side for tactile stimulation, and the shapes are even labelled in Braille. All are supplied in four vibrant colours: red, yellow, green, and blue.

In the classroom, Frameworks is particularly useful for developing skills in planning, visualising, and describing 3D shapes, all whilst practising the use of appropriate topic-specific terminology.

The set comes complete with an Exploring Frameworks Booklet packed full of ideas on how to apply Frameworks in the classroom.
