It contains 11 shape types: equilateral, right-angle and isosceles triangles, squares, rectangles, pentagons, hexagons, and sphere, quadrant, cone and cylinder pieces. All pieces are magnetic and made from 70% recycled plastic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhich 3D shapes can pupils build with the Mathematics Set?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe set lets children build the tetrahedron, cube, octahedron, icosahedron and dodecahedron, plus a range of prisms, anti-prisms and pyramids. The 8 sphere pieces, 12 quadrant pieces, 4 cone pieces and 4 cylinder pieces extend work to curved 3D shapes. Open frame pieces allow children to see inside each model. Each square measures 6 x 6 cm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFor schools\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCovers a wide range of 2D and 3D shapes for KS1 and KS2 maths in one set.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports KS3 study of polyhedra, prisms, anti-prisms and pyramids.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCurved pieces help pupils compare spheres, cones and cylinders with polyhedra.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e118 pieces support small group investigation and whole-class demonstration.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA concrete resource for Quality First Teaching, maths intervention 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\u003eOne set covers most of the 3D shapes children meet in primary maths.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMagnetic pieces make building complex shapes quicker and less frustrating.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilding and counting faces supports homework and home learning.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnecting pieces gives regular fine motor practice for children aged 5 and over.\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 understand 3D shapes that are difficult to picture from a flat drawing. Children can build a prism, look inside it through the open frames and count its faces and edges. The magnets connect easily and give instant feedback. Building, taking apart and rebuilding a shape lets learners practise at their own pace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Magnetic Polydron Mathematics Set is available to order from The Dyslexia Shop, a UK specialist in resources for SEND and learning differences, for classrooms and homes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Polydron","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58215024099710,"sku":"TA2560","price":263.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0653\/6560\/6649\/files\/50-7000-magnetic-polydron-mathematics-set-recycled-logo_5B1_5D.jpg?v=1791972917","url":"https:\/\/www.thedyslexiashop.co.uk\/products\/magnetic-polydron-mathematics-set","provider":"The Dyslexia Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
