Learning Resources Folding Geometric Shapes

This is perfect for teaching geometric nets of shapes - a 3rd grade standard. It also is great for showing the shape of the base to determine if it's a square pyramid or triangular pyramid, etc. Great tool for teachers.

I used this in class. Excellent way to make learning surface area a snap! The shapes are nice and large. These are also great for showing that 3 Cones make one cylinder. (V=1/3 Bh )The only difficulty I had was that there are small cutouts in the top of the shape that prevent one from filling them to the top with water.

These shapes are sturdy enough for home schooling or tutoring. I am not sure they would handle class room abuse. I used a sharpie to draw on the clear shape to show the layers for calculating volume. I had the students fll the large cube and pour them into the pyramid with the matching face and it shows perfectly how the volume od a pyramid is 1/3 of the cube. So much better then flat shapes in a book.....

I got these to add to our geometry and be able to visualize those 3D shapes. I seriously love them! You open them and take them out and can see exactly what shapes make up the 3D form. My only complaint is the bottoms need tape to be able to stay attached or else they just fall off. I wish they could 'click' in better, or have a hinge so you can just open it and take the shape out. I'm worried about losing my bottoms haha.

I really love this resource for teaching geometry and nets. My only complaint is that it is so pricey that I could only get one set for all my students. As a result, we have to use them in small groups or centers. The shapes are well made and help those students that are struggling to visualize when it comes to 3-D shapes.

What I expected. Good for classroom use when teaching nets and polygons.

I love this product! Great for use in my kindergarten classroom to teach about 3-d shapes, and which flat shapes they are made up of. The one downfall--the pieces fit inside of each other, and the inside piece tends to get stuck and difficult to pull apart.

I was very disappointed with this kit. Part of my issues with it is the fault of amazon and not the product. It looked like it had been purchased then returned and resold. The box was damaged, the pieces were loose, the sticky tabs that are supposed to hold the pieces together during shipping had been half pulled off (leaving sticky spots), and there strands of hair in the box. That aside the pieces aren't really what I expected. They don't seem durable. The inside colorful pieces are a softer, textured plastic that has thin plastic pieces that function as 'hinges'. These 'hinges' seem like they will wear out quickly with use. The outer clear pieces are a sharp, brittle plastic that seems like it would crack easily if dropped. Every one of the clear plastic pieces has sticky spots from the clear stickers. They would have to be scrubbed off, not something I want to take the time to do. This kit gets three stars from me because it's unique and does a very good job at illustrating geometry concepts. The only other option is to make paper cutouts and do without the clear outer part (which is helpful). With older kids I might keep it and deal with the issues but my kids aren't old enough yet to need something that shows volume relationships. In my opinion it's too expensive for the quality so I'll be printing out templates on sturdy paper to cut out paper shapes instead.

Idéal pour l'apprentissage par la manipulation. On peut utiliser les solides pour comparer les volumes en les remplissant d'eau ou de sable par exemple. C'est idéal.

Belli , grandi e molto utili.

お風呂で水を入れたりしながら遊んでいます。 自然と図形の形を覚えれます。 作りはしっかりしていて、思っていたより大きめでした。

👌
