Teachables Wooden Geometric Shapes and Tray - Set of 36

Explore the world of shapes and enhance geometric understanding with the Wooden Geometric Shapes & Tray 36 pc set! This collection of smooth hardwood geometric solids is designed to help students recognise and understand different 3D shapes. The set includes a variety of shapes, including a tetrahedron, cube, cylinder, square pyramid, cone, square prism, circle, hemisphere, and more. Perfect for hands-on learning, these pieces allow students to visually and physically explore the attributes of each shape, improving spatial awareness and understanding of geometric concepts. This set is an essential resource for both mathematics and physics classes, encouraging observation, comparison, and classification.

Educational Benefits:

• Facilitates recognition and comparison of different geometric shapes and their attributes, including faces, edges, and vertices.
• Supports hands-on learning of 3D shapes, encouraging students to visualise and manipulate shapes in space.
• Enhances students' understanding of geometry and its relationship to the physical world through practical applications and observations.
• Encourages the exploration of shapes in physics, such as examining which shapes roll, stack, or slide, fostering real-world connections.

Classroom Ideas:

• Challenge students to identify and describe the shapes based on their properties, such as number of faces or symmetry.
• Use the shapes in physics lessons to explore concepts like rolling, sliding, and stacking based on shape attributes.
• Have students trace the outlines of the 3D shapes on paper to compare 2D and 3D perspectives.
• Use the shapes for creative construction projects, where students can combine different shapes to form complex structures.
