The Teachables Folding Geometric Shapes set is an engaging, hands-on resource for introducing students to the world of geometry. The set includes 11 geometric solids and 11 folding net inserts, allowing students to fold the nets into 3D shapes and explore the connection between flat nets and solid forms. This tactile approach helps strengthen spatial reasoning, critical thinking, and understanding of geometric concepts. Ideal for students aged 5 and up, the set supports the exploration of key geometry principles such as shape properties, faces, edges, and vertices — making it a perfect addition to any classroom.
Educational Benefits:
- Develops spatial reasoning and helps students visualise 3D shapes from 2D nets.
- Promotes understanding of key geometric concepts such as faces, edges, and vertices.
- Enhances critical thinking through hands-on folding and shape construction.
- Builds fine motor skills through manipulating and assembling geometric nets.
Classroom Ideas:
- Have students fold nets to create 3D shapes and describe their properties.
- Encourage students to match each 3D shape with its corresponding net.
- Explore symmetry, faces, edges, and vertices using the solids and nets.
- Create a classroom display of folded shapes labelled with their geometric properties.
Information:
- Ages: Suitable for students aged 5+
- Measurements: Varies by shape
