Learning Resources Folding Geometric Shapes 16-piece plastic set, 7-11 years, 2D and 3D shapes

The Learning Resources Folding Geometric Shapes set includes 16 plastic pieces in four colors, designed for tactile learning of geometry concepts. Each shape comes in a clear plastic shell, and the available colors are red, yellow, blue, and green, which helps children quickly distinguish the types of geometric solids during activities.

The unique feature of this set is that each three-dimensional shape folds to transform into a two-dimensional one. This allows children to see the direct connection between the solid body and its flat net, making it much easier to understand how to calculate surface area, perimeter, and volume. It is a practical method for illustrating the symmetry of geometric shapes as well.

The set includes a wide range of 2D and 3D shapes: cubes, cylinders, rectangular prisms, hexagonal prisms, triangular pyramids, square pyramids, cones, and triangular prisms. The size of the shapes is 8 cm, a size that is comfortable for children to handle and suitable for demonstrations in class or at home. The material used is plastic, which is easy to clean.

The product is recommended for children aged 7 to 11, suitable for math lessons, geometry homework, and shape exploration exercises.
