Teachables Translucent Geometric Shapes Kit

Introduce an entire classroom to the fundamentals of 3D geometry with this Translucent Geometric Shapes Kit. This bulk kit includes 5 jars, each containing 120 translucent plastic shapes in 10 different forms and 6 vibrant colours. Designed for group activities and hands-on exploration, the translucent material enables students to observe internal structure and compare shapes from every angle. Perfect for light box use, sorting stations, or geometry lessons, these versatile shapes support visual and tactile learning across a range of early mathematical concepts. Each shape measures approximately 2.5cm in height and is stored in a reusable jar for easy classroom organisation.

Educational Benefits:

• Reinforces Geometry Concepts: Helps students explore the properties and differences of common 3D shapes.
• Supports Visual Learning: Translucent design enhances shape recognition and allows for effective light box activities.
• Encourages Classification: Aids in sorting and categorising shapes by attributes such as edges, faces and vertices.
• Improves Motor Coordination: Handling and positioning shapes supports fine motor development in early learners.

Classroom Ideas:

• Geometry Centres: Use each jar with small groups for rotational shape-based tasks such as sorting or tracing.
• Light Table Activities: Encourage students to compare shapes using light to explore form and transparency.
• STEM Integration: Combine with physics lessons to explore balance, stacking, rolling and stability of different shapes.
• 2D vs 3D Discussion: Trace shapes to compare flat surfaces with solid forms and support early spatial understanding.
