Supporting learners with SEND and learning differences

Hands-on construction helps many learners with SEND and learning differences understand shape ideas that can feel abstract on paper. Open frames show a shape's edges and solid pieces show its faces, so children can compare them by touch and sight. Fitting axles and wheels gives fine motor practice, and a model that moves gives a clear, visible result for effort.

The Original Polydron Mighty Box is available to order from The Dyslexia Shop, a UK specialist in resources for SEND and learning differences, for use at home or in the classroom.

• What is the Original Polydron Mighty Box?
  The Original Polydron Mighty Box is a 223-piece construction set with solid pieces, open Frameworks pieces, swivel joints, axles and wheels. Children snap the pieces together to build flat shapes, 3D polyhedra and vehicles with moving parts. A guide is included, and a free model guide can be downloaded from Polydron.
• What age is the Polydron Mighty Box suitable for?
  Polydron states the Mighty Box is suitable for children aged 4 years and over. It carries a choking hazard warning and is not suitable for children under 3. Younger children can build simple shapes, while older children can make vehicles and complex models, so the set stays useful as skills develop.
• How is the Mighty Box different from the Mega Box?
  The Mighty Box is the largest of the three boxes, with 223 pieces compared with 126 in the Mega Box. It adds 4 large wheels, 4 stub axles, 4 axle mounts and a third swivel joint, so children can build vehicles that roll as well as 3D shapes.
• How can schools use the Polydron Mighty Box?
  Schools use the Mighty Box for 3D shape work and simple design and technology projects. Pupils can compare open frames and solid faces while counting faces, edges and vertices, then use wheels and axles to build moving models. The 223 pieces let several pupils build at once.
• Is the Mighty Box a good choice for home?
  Yes, the Mighty Box suits families who want a larger set for ambitious models. Building a vehicle that rolls gives children a clear, motivating goal. The 223 pieces come in a 31 x 31 x 23 cm recyclable box weighing 2.2 kg, and fitting axles and joining pieces gives regular fine motor practice.
• 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. Open frames and solid pieces make a shape's edges and faces easy to see and touch. Fitting wheels and axles builds fine motor control, and a model that moves gives a clear, rewarding result that adults can build on.
• What comes in the Polydron Mighty Box?
  The Mighty Box contains 223 pieces and a guide. There are 80 solid equilateral triangles, 20 solid squares, 48 framework equilateral triangles, 24 framework squares, 24 right-angle framework triangles, 12 isosceles framework triangles, 3 swivel joints, 4 axle mounts, 4 stub axles and 4 large wheels.
