For EYFS and early KS1 maths development, children can identify and describe the different properties of the 13 different single shapes. But it is also designed to allow them to progress their learning and build common 2D nets and 3D solid structures, ranging from pyramids and cubes, to spheres and cylinders and more complex Platonic Solids and Archimedean Solids. Numerous National Curriculum topics can be taught quickly and simply with this set, such as identifying acute and obtuse angles, right angles and lines of symmetry; making and measuring perimeters of shapes; comparing and classifying shapes based on size. In KS1 and KS2 stages, classes can use the set to distinguish between regular and irregular polygons and as a visual aid when calculating the area of parallelograms and triangles or calculating, estimating and comparing volume of cubes and cuboids. It comes with a storage container so pieces can be quickly and easily packed away at the end of a lesson.
