With 108 magnetic pieces-60 triangles and 48 squares-in four bold colours (red, yellow, green, and blue), children can easily construct a wide range of three-dimensional shapes and structures. Each piece features a coloured side and a black side to help young learners intuitively understand magnetic polarity, while the concealed magnets offer a smooth, safe, and durable finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePerfect for both early childhood settings and primary classrooms, this set supports STEM-based learning through play. It promotes exploration of key maths and physics concepts in an engaging and open-ended way. Whether used independently or as part of a group activity, this set enhances creativity while laying the foundation for more advanced geometric and design understanding. Compatible with all Magnetic Polydron sets except Mega Mag, this resource is ideal for continuous learning and classroom expansion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEducational Benefits:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports spatial reasoning and the understanding of 2D and 3D shapes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnhances fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination through tactile building\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduces basic physics and mathematical concepts through magnetism and geometry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEncourages logical thinking and open-ended problem solving\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClassroom Activity Ideas:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExplore geometric nets by building flat shapes and folding them into 3D forms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSort the triangles and squares by colour, then use them to build pattern sequences\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChallenge students to replicate everyday structures such as bridges or pyramids\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWork in small groups to invent imaginative animals or vehicles using only the set pieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSafety \u0026amp; Information:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for ages 3 years and over\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTriangle dimensions: 6(L) x 6(H) x 0.6(W) cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSquare dimensions: 6(L) x 6(H) x 0.6(W) cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSet includes 108 pieces: 60 triangles and 48 squares\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade from high quality, non-toxic plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupplied in a reusable plastic storage bag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with all Magnetic Polydron sets except Mega Mag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Polydron","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42238574723185,"sku":"ZZ1020","price":349.95,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0626\/7633\/6753\/files\/zz1020_magnetic-polydron-basic-shapes-set-108-pieces_v1_5.webp?v=1760001418","url":"https:\/\/teaching.co.nz\/products\/magnetic-polydron-basic-shapes-set-of-108","provider":"Modern Teaching Aids NZ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
