Teachables Folding Geometric Shapes

The 2-in-1 Geometric Folding Shapes set is an engaging tool for introducing students to the world of geometry. This set includes 11 geometric solids and 11 folding net inserts, allowing students to fold the nets into 3D shapes and explore the connections between flat nets and solid forms. This hands-on approach helps strengthen students' spatial reasoning, critical thinking, and geometric understanding. Ideal for students aged 5-8 years, the set encourages tactile learning and supports the development of key geometry concepts such as shape properties, faces, edges, and vertices. By using the accompanying activity cards, students can explore various geometry principles and deepen their comprehension of both 2D and 3D shapes.

Educational Benefits:

• Develops spatial reasoning and the ability to visualise 3D shapes from 2D nets.
• Promotes an understanding of key geometric principles such as faces, edges, and vertices.
• Enhances critical thinking through activities that involve folding nets and constructing solid shapes.
• Strengthens fine motor skills as students physically fold and manipulate nets to create shapes.

Classroom Ideas:

• Have students fold nets to create 3D shapes and describe their properties.
• Use the activity cards to guide students in completing shape challenges and exploring geometric concepts.
• Encourage students to match 3D shapes with their corresponding nets.
• Incorporate discussions on symmetry, faces, edges, and vertices using the solids and nets.
