Teachables Small Translucent Geometric Shapes - 72 Pieces

This set of 72 Small Translucent Geometric Shapes by Teachables is a vibrant and engaging resource designed for hands-on exploration of geometry concepts. The collection includes twelve different 3D shapes such as cubes, prisms, pyramids, cylinders, spheres, and cones, each supplied in six bright colours. Each shape measures 5 cm high, ideal for classroom manipulation and examination. Students can investigate attributes like faces, edges, and vertices, compare shapes from different angles, and trace outlines to understand the relationship between 2D and 3D forms. The set supports group learning and can also be used in physics investigations to study which shapes roll, slide, or stack, enriching understanding of shape properties and spatial reasoning.

Educational Benefits:

• Facilitates recognition and comparison of geometric properties.
• Supports understanding of 2D and 3D shape relationships through tracing.
• Enhances spatial reasoning and visualisation skills.
• Introduces basic physics concepts such as rolling, sliding, and stacking.

Classroom Ideas:

• Classify shapes based on faces, edges, or colour attributes.
• Trace shapes to connect 3D solids with their 2D nets or outlines.
• Investigate which shapes roll smoothly or can be stacked securely.
• Use sets for group activities focused on geometry vocabulary and properties.
