It contains 36 squares, 36 triangles, 12 pentagons and 20 hexagons in translucent colours. The pieces are made from engineering-grade MBS plastic, described as super tough.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat can children build with the Translucent Essential Shapes Set?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFour shape types and 104 pieces let children go beyond cubes and pyramids. Pentagons and hexagons make it possible to build more complex 3D solids, such as hexagonal prisms and dodecahedra. The magnets pull edges together, so models hold their shape while children explore. Because every piece is translucent, light passes through and colours blend where pieces overlap, which brings colour mixing and light play into geometry work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFor schools\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e104 pieces give larger groups enough shapes to build at the same time in EYFS, KS1 and KS2.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports maths teaching on 2D and 3D shape, nets, faces, edges and vertices.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConcrete models support Quality First Teaching before pictorial and abstract work.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorks on a light panel for sensory and small group activities.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuits SEND provision and maths intervention groups.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFor parents and home use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOffers four shape types for open-ended building at home.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTranslucent pieces turn a sunny window into a place to learn about colour.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMagnetic edges join easily, which builds confidence in young builders.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandling and placing pieces supports fine motor skills.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable from age 3 with adult supervision, as 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 make sense of shape and space. With the Translucent Solid Magnetic Polydron Essential Shapes Set, children can hold a hexagon, count its sides and see how it joins other shapes. The magnets guide pieces into place, and the translucent colours give strong visual interest.
