It contains 266 shapes and 2 Polydron protractors: 80 equilateral triangles, 40 right angle triangles, 60 isosceles triangles, 24 root 2 triangles, 30 squares, 20 hexagons and 12 pentagons. The pieces snap together at the edges to form a strong hinge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow does the School Geometry Set support maths?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeven shape types in 4 colours let pupils compare different triangles, build tessellations and fold nets into prisms, pyramids and other polyhedra. The 2 Polydron protractors add angle work to shape building. Each square measures 7.3 x 7.3 cm. Polydron states the pieces are BPA free and 100% recyclable, and they connect with Crystal Polydron, Polydron Frameworks, Polydron Bridges and Polydron Engineer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFor schools\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports 2D and 3D shape, types of triangle, angles, nets, faces, edges and vertices across KS1 and KS2, with extension work at KS3.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e268 pieces give enough shapes for several groups to work at once.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProtractors let pupils measure and compare angles on the shapes they build.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConcrete models support Quality First Teaching and SEND provision before pictorial and abstract work.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDishwasher safe at 70°C, which helps keep shared resources clean.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFor parents and home use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGives home learners a wide range of shapes to explore at their own pace.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJoining pieces offers regular fine motor practice.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree Exploring Polydron booklets can be downloaded from Polydron for activity ideas.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpen-ended play stays interesting from age 4 into secondary maths.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSupporting learners with SEND and learning differences\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHands-on construction helps many learners with SEND and learning differences make sense of geometry that can feel abstract on paper. Holding a right angle triangle beside an isosceles triangle shows the difference clearly, and a protractor on a real shape makes angle work more concrete. The bright pieces give clear visual cues, and joining edges builds fine motor control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Original Polydron School Geometry Set is available to order from The Dyslexia Shop, a UK specialist in resources for SEND and learning differences, for use in the classroom or at home.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Polydron","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58214981009790,"sku":"TA2580","price":172.79,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0653\/6560\/6649\/files\/10-3020-polydron-school-geometry-set_012f6564-39f3-41f3-9260-eef7a57d3669.jpg?v=1791972422","url":"https:\/\/www.thedyslexiashop.co.uk\/products\/original-polydron-school-geometry-set-268-piece","provider":"The Dyslexia Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
