Learn about area, volume, surface area, symmetry, perimeter, and more with this innovative hands-on set from Learning Resources! Using the pieces in this kit, kids will create 3D shapes, helping turn the concepts of geometry into real-life understanding. Inside, you'll find transparent 3D shapes including a cylinder, a square pyramid, a cube, a rectangular prism, a cone, a hexagonal prism, a triangular pyramid, and a triangular prism. Fill them with beads, rice, and other items to develop an understanding of volume of a space. Then, take the net shapes, fold them up, and insert them into the transparent shapes to learn how 2D shapes come together to form the 3D object.
This set comes with 8 transparent shapes (each 3" tall), 8 colorful net shapes, and an activity guide with suggestions to teach kids all about geometry.
