What is the Original Polydron Frameworks Geometry Set?

The Original Polydron Frameworks Geometry Set (code 10-3320) is a 268-piece maths construction kit from Polydron for children aged 6 and over. It contains 80 equilateral triangles, 60 isosceles triangles, 40 right angle triangles, 24 root 2 triangles, 30 squares, 20 hexagons, 12 pentagons and 2 Polydron protractors, plus a guide. Polydron describes it as ideal for the active classroom.

What can pupils build with the Frameworks Geometry Set?

The set lets pupils build many types of nets, prisms, cuboids and pyramids. Polydron states that it covers all the activities in the 'Mathematics with Polydron' book. Frameworks pieces let children see inside the shape and explore the space within, which makes the range useful for investigating angles, edges, vertices, planes and tangents. The 2 protractors add angle measurement to building work. Pieces are lightweight, easy to connect and fully compatible with the Original Polydron range.

For schools

• Supports KS2 and KS3 geometry: nets, prisms, pyramids, angles and properties of 3D shape.
• Seven triangle, square and polygon types allow a wide range of solids.
• Protractors link construction with angle measurement.
• Concrete resource for Quality First Teaching, intervention and SEND provision.

For parents and home use

• Helps children practise shape topics from school through building.
• Lightweight pieces make larger models achievable at home.
• Joining pieces develops fine motor skills and careful planning.
• Suitable from age 6, with challenge for older children too.

Supporting learners with SEND and learning differences

Hands-on construction helps many learners with SEND and learning differences understand geometry that can feel abstract in a textbook. Building a net and folding it into a prism shows exactly how the faces connect. Because Frameworks models stay open to view, children can point to and count every edge and vertex. Measuring real angles with a protractor on a model they made gives meaning to the numbers. Adults can choose simple or more demanding tasks to suit each learner.

The Original Polydron Frameworks Geometry Set is available to order from The Dyslexia Shop, a UK specialist in resources for SEND and learning differences.

• What is the Original Polydron Frameworks Geometry Set?
  The Original Polydron Frameworks Geometry Set is a 268-piece maths construction kit made by Polydron. It contains seven shape types, including four kinds of triangle, squares, hexagons and pentagons, plus 2 Polydron protractors and a guide. Pupils use it to build nets, prisms, cuboids and pyramids they can see inside.
• What age is the Frameworks Geometry Set suitable for?
  The Polydron Frameworks Geometry Set is suitable for children aged 6 years and over. It is not suitable for children under 3 because of small parts. Younger pupils can build simple prisms and pyramids, while older pupils can measure angles with the protractors and investigate edges, vertices and planes.
• How does the Frameworks Geometry Set support maths lessons?
  The Frameworks Geometry Set supports lessons on nets, prisms, cuboids, pyramids and angles. Polydron states that it covers all the activities in the 'Mathematics with Polydron' book. Pupils can build a net, fold it into a solid, count edges and vertices through the open model and measure angles with the protractors.
• Can the Geometry Set be used for home learning?
  Yes, the Frameworks Geometry Set suits home learning for children who want to practise shape topics from school. Building a prism or pyramid and counting its properties turns homework ideas into something real. The lightweight pieces make larger models possible, and building develops fine motor skills and planning.
• Is it suitable for children with SEND or learning differences?
  Yes, many children with SEND and learning differences benefit from hands-on resources like Polydron Frameworks. Seeing inside a model makes every edge and vertex visible, and folding a net shows how faces connect. Measuring angles on a model they built gives meaning to numbers, and adults can adapt tasks to each learner.
• What comes in the Polydron Frameworks Geometry Set?
  The set contains 268 pieces plus a guide. There are 80 equilateral triangles, 60 isosceles triangles, 40 right angle triangles, 24 root 2 triangles, 30 squares, 20 hexagons, 12 pentagons and 2 Polydron protractors. Polydron lists the set at 46 x 36 x 13 cm and 2.88 kg.
• Is the Frameworks Geometry Set compatible with other Polydron sets?
  Yes, Polydron states that Frameworks is fully compatible with the Original Polydron range. Schools that already own Original Polydron or other Frameworks sets can combine pieces in the same build. This makes it easy to extend lessons or create larger models as a collection grows.
