What is the Magnetic Polydron Super Class Set?

The Magnetic Polydron Super Class Set (code 50-1050) is a 184-piece magnetic construction kit from Polydron for classrooms and play groups, suitable for children aged 3 and over. It contains 36 squares, 60 equilateral triangles, 24 right-angle triangles, 12 rectangles, 12 pentagons, 20 mirror panels and 20 write-on/write-off panels. A poster is included to guide play.

What can a class do with 184 magnetic pieces?

With 184 pieces, a whole group can build at the same time. Children join open frame pieces to make a wide range of recognisable 2D and 3D shapes, and the open frames let them see inside each model. The 20 mirror panels add reflections to building, while the 20 write-on/write-off panels let children label faces or add numbers and letters. Each square measures 6 x 6 cm, and every piece is magnetic. The pieces are made from 63% recycled plastic.

• Supports EYFS and KS1 shape work and KS2 learning on nets, faces, edges and vertices.
• 184 pieces give enough for group work across a table or carpet area.

Supporting learners with SEND and learning differences

Hands-on magnetic construction can help learners with SEND and learning differences explore shape and space in a concrete way. Children can build a model, look inside it through the open frames and label it on a write-on panel. The magnets give instant feedback when pieces connect, and the mirrors add a visual element that can hold attention. Learners can repeat builds at their own pace.

The Magnetic Polydron Super Class Set is available to order from The Dyslexia Shop, a UK specialist in resources for SEND and learning differences, for classrooms, play groups and homes.

• Is the Super Class Set worth buying for home?
