Large Plastic Geometric Shapes

Explore the World of 3D Geometry with Large Plastic Geometric Shapes

Help children develop a deeper understanding of geometry with the Large Plastic Geometric Shapes set. Designed to make abstract mathematical concepts easy to visualise, this comprehensive collection of 10 colourful geometric solids allows learners to investigate shape, size, area, volume, and fractions through practical, hands-on exploration.

Each solid shares a common 8 cm (3-inch) dimension, making it easy to compare the properties of different three-dimensional shapes. The included interchangeable fraction pieces (½, ⅓, ¼ and ⅛) provide an engaging way to demonstrate mathematical relationships while helping children understand how fractions relate to volume and space.

Ideal for classrooms, home learning, STEM activities, and maths investigations, this durable educational set transforms geometry into an interactive learning experience.

Discover Ten Essential 3D Shapes.

The set includes ten commonly studied geometric solids that help children recognise, compare, and classify three-dimensional shapes.

Included shapes:

• Cone

• Sphere

• Hemisphere

• Cube

• Cylinder

• Rectangular prism

• Hexagonal prism

• Triangular prism

• Square pyramid

• Triangular pyramid

Each shape is perfectly sized for hands-on investigation and classroom demonstrations.

Explore Area, Volume and Shape Relationships

Because every solid shares the same common dimension, children can easily compare how different shapes relate to one another.

They can investigate:

• Area

• Volume

• Shape

• Form

• Size

• Geometric relationships

These practical comparisons help build a much stronger understanding than diagrams alone.

Learn Fractions Through Practical Investigation

The included interchangeable fraction inserts make learning fractions visual and engaging.

Children can explore:

• One-half (½)

• One-third (⅓)

• One-quarter (¼)

• One-eighth (⅛)

By physically dividing the shapes, children gain a clearer understanding of how fractions relate to volume and three-dimensional space.
