Polydron designed the set for individual or small group use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat can children build with Hashmag Polydron?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChildren join the magnetic pieces edge to edge to make flat 2D nets, then lift them into 3D models such as cubes and pyramids. The colour coding on each piece helps children understand polarity, so they can see why some edges attract and others push apart. The translucent colours let light through, which adds a visual layer to pattern work. Hashmag is compatible with Magnetic Polydron, so the 24 pieces can join a larger collection over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFor schools\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports early shape work in EYFS and KS1, including naming triangles and squares and building simple 3D shapes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLinks to KS2 maths on nets, faces and edges as pupils move from flat designs to solid models.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSized for one pupil or a small group, which suits intervention sessions and focused tasks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGives a concrete resource for Quality First Teaching and SEND provision.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFor parents and home use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA manageable 24-piece set for open-ended magnetic play at home.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJoining and separating pieces gives regular fine motor practice.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe included building guide gives families ready ideas to try together.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePacked in a sturdy, reusable carton for easy tidying away.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSupporting learners with SEND and learning differences\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHands-on magnetic construction can help learners with SEND and learning differences explore maths ideas that feel abstract on paper.
