Helping to Support Teaching and Learning
-
Twelve shape types
Thirty-six translucent geometric solids provide twelve shapes in six colours. Children handle, sort and compare forms in 2-D shape sort tasks.
-
Plastic storage container
The plastic container keeps pieces together after activities, giving practitioners a defined place to return resources and supporting orderly storage.
-
Explore shape attributes
Translucent pieces work with a light panel to explore shape names and attributes. Their geometric forms support sorting and recognition tasks.
-
Extend practical play
The shapes can be mixed and matched with other translucent colour play ranges, extending play value. The set also suits independent play and group activities.
-
Recognising 2-D and 3-D shapes
For Key Stage 1 Mathematics, children recognise and name common 2-D and 3-D shapes. Handling pieces supports discussion of shape names and attributes.
Translucent Geometric Shapes
A thirty-six-piece set of translucent geometric solids in twelve shapes and six colours.
Overview
Supports shape recognition, comparison and sorting through hands-on activities with translucent geometric solids and a light panel.
Teachers can make shape work tangible with thirty-six translucent pieces in twelve shapes and six colours. Children handle and organise the forms during shape recognition activities and shape sorting. A light panel supports exploration of shape names and attributes, while the set mixes with other translucent colour play ranges.
For Key Stage 1 Mathematics, use a 2-D shape sort or 3-D shape sort to prompt recognition and naming of common 2-D and 3-D shapes. Children compare forms during guided discussion, using geometric shape manipulatives to connect geometric forms with the language of shape recognition activities.
Children identify and describe 3-D properties, including edges, vertices and faces, then compare and sort common 2-D and 3-D shapes with everyday objects. The resources support independent play and group activities, including shape sorting and EYFS 2-D shapes.
