Original Polydron Mighty

The Original Polydron Mighty set by Polydron is a comprehensive construction kit designed to help children aged 3+ years explore the fascinating world of shapes, geometry, and structural design. Trusted by educators worldwide for over 30 years, Polydron offers a hands-on, visual approach to learning that enhances mathematical understanding while supporting creativity and collaboration.

This large set includes a rich variety of vibrant red, blue, green, and yellow plastic shapes that easily connect using a unique clip hinge system. Ideal for classroom use, the Polydron Mighty pack enables children to investigate both 2D and 3D forms, from simple flat shapes to complex polyhedra - building their skills in geometry, design thinking and spatial reasoning through guided or free-form play.

The set features a generous selection of frameworks, shapes, wheels, and accessories, alongside printed resources such as lesson plans, photocopiable activities, glossaries, and project ideas to extend learning opportunities across the curriculum.

Includes:

• 24 right-angled triangle frameworks
• 24 square frameworks
• 48 equilateral triangle frameworks
• 12 isosceles triangle frameworks
• 20 Polydron squares
• 80 Polydron equilateral triangles
• 3 swivel joints
• 4 wheels, 4 hubcaps, 4 stub axles

Educational Benefits:

• Reinforces mathematical concepts such as symmetry, shape recognition, edges, and vertices.
