It contains 10 different shapes, from right angle and isosceles triangles to rectangles, octagons and decagons. Every piece is an open frame, so children can see inside each prism or pyramid they build. A full set of teacher's notes is included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow does the set help children learn about prisms and pyramids?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pieces are colour coded to make sorting simple. The 53 red pieces are triangles: 9 equilateral, 10 right angle, 26 isosceles and 8 Root 2 triangles. The 58 blue pieces are 14 squares and 44 rectangles. The 10 yellow pieces are 3 pentagons, 3 hexagons, 2 octagons and 2 decagons. Children choose a base shape, then add rectangles for a prism or triangles for a pyramid, and compare the results. The pieces are lightweight, easy to connect and fully compatible with the Original Polydron range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFor schools\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports the maths curriculum on 3D shape, prisms, pyramids, faces, edges and vertices across KS1 and KS2.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTeacher's notes include many exercises and extension ideas for lesson planning.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColour coding helps pupils find the right pieces quickly during group work.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConcrete models support Quality First Teaching before pictorial and abstract work.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUseful in SEND provision and intervention groups where hands-on resources are needed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFor parents and home use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelps children explore 3D shape through hands-on building at home.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJoining the pieces gives regular fine motor practice.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpen-ended building means children can invent their own shapes as well as follow ideas.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable from age 6, with octagons and decagons to stretch older children.\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 understand maths ideas that can feel abstract on paper. Children can hold a prism, look through its open faces and count its edges directly. The red, blue and yellow colour coding gives clear visual cues, and joining pieces builds fine motor control. Changing one base shape and seeing the whole model change makes the rules of prisms and pyramids concrete.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Polydron Frameworks Prism and Pyramid Set is available to order from The Dyslexia Shop, a UK specialist in resources for SEND and learning differences, for use in school or at home.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Polydron","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58214948471166,"sku":"TA2594","price":53.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0653\/6560\/6649\/files\/10-3067F-frameworks-prism-pyramid-set-2024.jpg?v=1791973388","url":"https:\/\/www.thedyslexiashop.co.uk\/products\/polydron-frameworks-prism-and-pyramid-set-121-piece","provider":"The Dyslexia Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
