Helping to Support Teaching and Learning

Comprehensive Geometry Exploration: Offers creative and analytical opportunities by providing 250 pieces, including equilateral triangles, pentagons, and squares, for constructing various geometric shapes.
Durable Construction: Made from durable plastic, these pieces are designed for repeated use, ensuring longevity and sustainability.
Curriculum Aligned: Enriches understanding and mastery of shapes, directly supporting the UK Mathematics curriculum from Year 3 to Year 6.
Hands-On Learning: Enhances geometry and spatial reasoning through active, hands-on learning. Engaging children in constructing and exploring shapes fosters a deep understanding of geometry.
Year 6 Geometry Support: In Year 6, children learn to recognise, describe, and construct simple 3-D shapes, including nets, aligning with curriculum aims.

Polydron Platonic Solids Class Set 250pcs

Explore the foundations of solid geometry with this comprehensive set.

Overview

Designed to facilitate hands-on learning, this set allows children to construct and explore five key geometric shapes.

This class set invites children aged 5 to 11 years to delve into the world of geometry by constructing Platonic solids. It includes 160 equilateral triangles, 60 pentagons, and 30 squares made from durable plastic, perfect for hands-on learning. Through creating shapes and exploring their properties, children develop spatial awareness and analytical skills.

Aligned with the UK Mathematics curriculum for Year 3 to Year 6, the set provides a tactile method to learn geometry’s complexities. From recognising basic shapes to classifying geometric forms and calculating unknown angles, it supports sequential learning and skill development in mathematics.
Each piece’s dimensions (H3 x W2.4 x L2.5cm) are suited for young learners, ensuring ease of assembly. This set not only engages children in active geometry learning but also promotes curiosity and exploration in mathematics.

Supports the National Curriculum
