Giant Geosolids 10 Set

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.

Big bright set of ten plastic shapes makes exploring geometry fun! Shapes have a common 8cm dimension to illustrate relationships between area, volume, shape, form and size.

Includes: cone, sphere, hemisphere, cube, cylinder, rectangular prism, triangular prism, hexagonal prism, square pyramid and triangular pyramid.

Teaching Notes included. Ages 5+

Develop strong analytical skills across the curriculum with these versatile circle organizers. Students can group items or concepts with similar and different attributes by making circles into a Venn diagram or other visual tool.

Set of six collapsible circles includes two each in red, blue and yellow.

What better way to learn about shapes than to make them?

The set consists of various sizes, a box of connectors, a protractor, and a set of 11 carefully graded work cards

An innovative maths resource designed by Maths experts for teachers, with a comprehensive CD-rom that explores the 'Golden Ratio'.

The Classroom Pack includes 10 Individual plastic containers each with 20 ISOTILES®, 10 of each shape plus 1 CD-ROM Workbook.

65 pages of Teachers notes and student exercises

Tiles are approx. 50mm and 80mm long, 3mm thick

Both shapes in two contrasting colours

Help understand shape and geometry

Demonstrates tessellations, reflective and rotational symmetry

Suitable for Special Needs teaching

Explore patterns, symmetry, linear and area measurement, fractions and problem solving with these 49 overhead pattern blocks.

Ideal for leading students in activities with Plastic Pattern Blocks. The one-centimeter blocks are thick enough to stand up for three-dimensional patterning.
