This is an essential ‘maths-in-a-box’ set comprising 90 Magformers magnetic construction pieces in 14 different individual shapes. It is made up of 12 triangles, 20 squares, 6 isosceles triangles, 2 hexagons, 2 pentagons, 4 rectangles, 4 diamonds, 4 trapezoids, 4 triple rectangles, 4 quarter cones, 4 cylinders (arches), 8 sphere sections, 8 quadrants, 8 sectors. All the pieces are contained in a stackable storage box, making it very classroom friendly. With the set, children can make huge numbers of 2D nets and 3D solid structures, while exploring and comparing different shape properties and developing mathematical language. In each Magformers piece, the magnets are safely contained within all the edges. All magnets can rotate 360 degrees so always connect when two Magformers are held together.
• Comes with a strong, stackable storage container making it super easy to clear away and store the Magformers.
• 14 different shapes are included, from equilateral triangles to large triple rectangles.
• Makes numerous 2D nets and 3D shapes including prisms, pyramids, Platonic Solids and Archimedean Solids (e.g. tetrahedron, cube, octahedron, cuboctahedron, icosahedron, rhombicuboctahedron).
• Addition of curved edge pieces enables children to make circles, spheres, cylinders, cones.
• Contains instructional sheets and booklet.
