Polydron Frames Class Set - 310 Pieces

The Polydron Frameworks Class Set with 310 pieces is a comprehensive resource designed for group activities and collaborative learning in geometry. This versatile set includes a balanced selection of 30 hexagons, 80 squares, 160 equilateral triangles, and 40 pentagons in four vibrant colours, all made from lightweight, easy-to-connect plastic. The unique framework design allows students to see inside the constructed shapes, providing a hands-on way to explore spatial concepts such as angles, edges, vertices, planes, and tangents. Polydron Frameworks encourages the building of both simple and complex three-dimensional models, fostering creativity and deeper understanding of geometric principles. Fully compatible with the original Polydron range, this set supports extended play and investigation, making it a valuable resource for classrooms focused on mathematics, design, and spatial reasoning.

Educational Benefits:

• Enhances spatial awareness through hands-on exploration of 2D and 3D shapes.
• Develops understanding of geometric properties including vertices, edges, and planes.
• Promotes collaborative learning and problem-solving in group settings.
• Supports investigation of complex geometric constructions and modelling.

Classroom Ideas:

• Organise group challenges to build specified geometric solids using the framework pieces.
• Explore relationships between different polygons by creating composite shapes.
• Use the set for lessons on symmetry, angles, and geometric transformations.
• Incorporate Frameworks into STEM projects involving design and engineering concepts.
