Teachables Small Attribute Blocks Set

Unlock powerful thinking skills with the Small Attribute Blocks Set-an engaging and versatile tool designed to grow with students from foundational sorting to advanced classification tasks. Compact and perfectly sized for individual or small group use, these tactile manipulatives support a wide range of mathematical and logical concepts. With four distinct attributes-shape, colour, size, and thickness-students can explore endless sorting combinations while building critical thinking, pattern recognition, and early geometry understanding. The set includes 60 pieces across 5 geometric shapes (circle, square, triangle, hexagon, rectangle), presented in 3 colours, 2 sizes, and 2 thicknesses. Ideal for use with visual aids such as Venn, Carroll, or tree diagrams, these blocks bring abstract mathematical thinking into a hands-on, student-friendly format. Whether used in numeracy rotations or integrated with inquiry-based activities, this set promotes rich learning experiences across all primary years.

Educational Benefits:

• Strengthens classification and comparison skills using multiple attributes simultaneously.
• Encourages logical thinking and problem-solving through diagram-based and open-ended tasks.
• Supports visual and tactile learners in exploring 2D shape properties and relationships.
• Introduces students to foundational data handling through groupings, sorting, and diagrams.

Classroom Ideas:

• Use in numeracy centres for independent or peer-supported sorting tasks.
• Incorporate into lessons on Venn and Carroll diagrams to visually represent logical sets.
• Challenge students to create sorting rules for classmates to solve collaboratively.
• Pair with storytelling prompts where students match characters or objects to attribute groups.
