This set includes 10 geometric solids: a cylinder, cube, ellipsoid, cone, sphere, square-based pyramid, triangular-based pyramid, ovoid, rectangular prism and triangular prism painted in a glossy blue. A small wooden box contains ten wooden plane figures and three wooden stands for the curved solids.
The purpose of this product is to develop the child's stereognostic sense, which creates a mental picture through touch. Helps make the child more aware of the basic shapes found in their environment. Indirectly prepares the child for later work in Mathematics especially geometry, through identifying solid shapes and exploring the relationships between their plane and curved surfaces.
Recommended ages: 3.5 years and up.
We have 3-Part Cards (PDF) to work with this set.
