The study of space and shape is called geometry - in developing a geometric sense of the world it is important that children - both young and old - have a lot of opportunity to play with and build lots of different objects.
The Standard Kit contains more than 200 shapes (polygons)- enough to build each of the Platonic solids, each of the Archimedean solids and much more, there are however not enough pieces to build all of these polyhedra at once.
The kit includes a instruction booklet with instructions on how to build the shapes (polyhedra) and a number of ideas/suggestions on how the kits can be used in the study of geometry.
Box Contains:
▪ 203 Die-Cut Shapes
▪ Instruction Booklet
▪ Elastic Bands
Why go GeoGenius?
It is believed that those children whose geometric thinking is nurtured from an early age, through exploration and investigation using materials such as those in the GeoGenius Kit, are better able to understand mathematics in general and spatial relationships in particular.
How does it work?
Using bright, precision manufactured, sturdy cardboard shapes and elastic bands supplied in the GeoGenius Construction Kit, it is possible to assemble an enormously wide range of objects, in a fun way, quickly and easily.
The GeoGenius kits come complete with an accompanying instruction booklet, giving tips on how to build the objects (polyhedra) and a number of ideas and suggestions on how the kits can be used in the study of geometry.
Additionally, the Kit comes with the requisite amount of elastic bands.
