What is the Original Polydron Super Value Set?

The Original Polydron Super Value Set (code 10-3010) is a 456-piece bulk construction kit from Polydron for children aged 4 and over. It combines Original Polydron and Polydron Frameworks pieces: 80 solid squares, 100 solid equilateral triangles, 80 framework squares and 160 framework equilateral triangles, plus 12 large wheels, 12 axle mounts and 12 stub axles.

What can you build with the Polydron Super Value Set?

With over 450 pieces, a whole class can build at once. Pieces snap together to form a strong hinge, so flat nets fold into cubes, pyramids, prisms and larger polyhedra. Open framework pieces show the edges and inside of a shape, while solid pieces show the faces. Wheels and axles turn models into moving vehicles. Each square measures 7.3 x 7.3 cm. Polydron describes the set as a resource for teaching shape and space, 2D and 3D geometry, and design and technology.

For schools

• 456 pieces support whole-class or multi-group building across KS1, KS2 and KS3.
• Covers 2D and 3D shape, nets, faces, edges and vertices in the maths curriculum.
• Wheels and axles link maths with design and technology projects.
• Concrete models support Quality First Teaching and SEND provision.
• Dishwasher safe at 70°C, which helps keep shared pieces clean.

For parents and home use

• A large set for families with several children or a keen young builder.
• Open-ended play lets children design shapes, structures and vehicles.
• Snapping pieces together gives regular fine motor practice.
• Seeing a flat net fold into a solid shape builds confidence with maths.
• Suitable from age 4, with enough pieces to grow with older children.

Supporting learners with SEND and learning differences

Hands-on construction helps many learners with SEND and learning differences understand maths ideas that can feel abstract on paper. With the Polydron Super Value Set, children can compare a solid face with an open frame of the same shape, and count edges and vertices by touch. Joining pieces builds fine motor control, and the four colours give clear visual cues. Tasks can be repeated and adjusted to each learner's pace.

The Original Polydron Super Value Set is available to order from The Dyslexia Shop, a UK specialist in resources for SEND and learning differences, for schools, clubs and families.

• What is the Original Polydron Super Value Set?
  It is a 456-piece bulk construction kit made by Polydron for children aged 4 and over. The set combines solid Original Polydron squares and triangles with open Polydron Frameworks pieces, plus wheels, axle mounts and stub axles. Children use it to build 2D nets, 3D shapes and moving models.
• What age is the Polydron Super Value Set suitable for?
  Polydron states the Super Value Set is suitable for children aged 4 years and over. It contains small parts and is not suitable for children under 3. Younger children can make patterns and simple shapes, while older pupils can build complex polyhedra and vehicles with the wheels and axles.
• How can schools use the Super Value Set?
  Schools use the Super Value Set for whole-class shape, geometry and design and technology work. With 456 pieces, several groups can build at once. Pupils can compare solid and framework versions of a shape, count faces, edges and vertices, and add wheels to design moving models.
• Is the Super Value Set a good choice for home?
  Yes, it suits families with several children or a child who loves building. The large number of pieces allows ambitious models, from polyhedra to vehicles. Snapping pieces together gives fine motor practice, and free Exploring booklets can be downloaded from Polydron for ideas to start with.
• Is it suitable for children with SEND or learning differences?
