It contains 40 equilateral triangles, 12 right-angle triangles, 8 isosceles triangles, 24 squares, 4 rectangles and 12 pentagons. All pieces are magnetic, and the open frame design lets children see inside the shapes they build.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat can children build with the Exploration Set?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePolydron says the set will allow children to open up their imaginations. With six shapes and 100 pieces, children can build cubes, pyramids, prisms, arches and pentagon-based solids. The squares measure 6 x 6 cm. Pieces are made from engineering grade MABS, which Polydron describes as extremely durable, and a model guide can be downloaded from the Polydron website for extra ideas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFor schools\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports 2D and 3D shape work in EYFS, KS1 and KS2, including faces, edges and nets.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpen frame pieces let pupils look inside a solid and talk about its structure.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e100 pieces in six shapes give a group plenty to sort, compare and build.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDurable MABS pieces that can be cleaned with an alcohol-based sanitiser.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA hands-on resource that fits Quality First Teaching and SEND provision.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFor parents and home use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA large, varied set that keeps building play fresh for longer.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEncourages open-ended, imaginative construction.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJoining magnetic pieces builds fine motor skills and confidence.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable from age 3, with adult supervision because the pieces contain magnets.\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 shape ideas that can feel abstract on a worksheet. Children can hold a pentagon, count its sides and see how several pieces form a solid. The open frame pieces make the inside of a shape visible, which supports visual understanding. Placing pieces edge to edge also builds fine motor control, and tasks can be repeated as often as needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Translucent Magnetic Polydron Exploration Set is available to order from The Dyslexia Shop, a UK specialist in resources for SEND and learning differences, for the classroom, nursery or home.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Polydron","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58214980944254,"sku":"TA2565","price":256.79,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0653\/6560\/6649\/files\/50-3050_41287814-2bed-414c-b270-7bd33dfe838d.jpg?v=1791972420","url":"https:\/\/www.thedyslexiashop.co.uk\/products\/translucent-magnetic-polydron-exploration-set-100-piece","provider":"The Dyslexia Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
