GEOMETRY SHAPES & GAMES

The pliable plastic straws will curve and bend to fit onto joiners, and very soon a pupil has completed a simple design.

This pack includes straws, joiners, prongs and wheels.

Older children are intrigued by making more complex models.

Perfect for hands-on learning and illustrative teaching of symmetry, perimeter, surface area and volume, this set of eight 2-in-1 geometric shapes shows both 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional solids.

Each shape is in both fold-out net form (shows 2 dimensions) and clear plastic casing (shows 3 dimensions). Includes cylinder, square pyramid, cube, rectangular prism, cone, hexagonal prism, triangular pyramid and triangular prism.

Sturdy plastic, transparent geoboard is perfect for use on an overhead projector. Features a 23cm 11x11 pin grid with raised edges to protect knobbed pegs. Elastic bands included.

5 x 5 Pin Geoboards (Set of 10)

Sturdy plastic geoboards in assorted colours feature a 5 x 5 pin grid with raised edges to protect knobbed pegs.
18cm geoboards are labelled with letters of the alphabet for easy identification.
Elastic bands included. Ages 5-13

Extra Elastic Bands available separately!

Made up of magnetic rods, steel spheres and different shaped panels, this Swiss-made product is the symbol of the magnetic construction system that has brought worldwide recognition to the Geomag brand. Thanks to these simple components and the magic of magnetism, endless 3D structures can be created with total freedom of imagination and creativity.

By reinforcing the concepts of Euclidean geometry with 2D polygons, 3D forms and much more as they build concrete models and make real-life comparisons, students then enjoy elaborating their models in a creative, stimulating and productive classroom environment. This concrete approach to understanding abstract concepts gives students a head start. Contained in a plastic Gratnells SmartCase® for easy storage. 244 pieces + 80 cards.
