It contains 12 squares and 12 equilateral triangles, plus a model guide. Polydron designed the set for small groups of children learning to build their first 2D and 3D shapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow does the Starter Set help children learn shape?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll 24 pieces are magnetic and supplied in 4 bright colours. Polydron notes that the colour coding teaches polarity, so children start to notice which edges attract. The set is a clear way to show how a flat 2D net folds into a 3D solid, such as a cube from 6 squares or a pyramid from triangles and a square. Each square measures 6 x 6 cm, a size young children can hold easily. The pieces are made from ABS with 70% recycled plastic, and the set is compatible with Magnetic Polydron.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFor schools\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduces 2D and 3D shape in EYFS and KS1 with a small, manageable set.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShows nets folding into solids, a key idea in the maths curriculum.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSized for small group work and focused adult-led sessions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA concrete resource that fits Quality First Teaching and SEND provision.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePieces can be cleaned with an alcohol-based sanitiser.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFor parents and home use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA first magnetic shape set that is easy to start with at home.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe model guide gives simple ideas to try together.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJoining squares and triangles builds fine motor skills and confidence.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan be added to later with other Magnetic Polydron sets.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSupporting learners with SEND and learning differences\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHands-on construction gives many learners with SEND and learning differences a concrete starting point for shape.
