These soft foam shapes are a perfect tactile tool to help explain 3-dimensional concepts to your young learner. The 12 foam shapes give them a real feel for how a square drawn on a piece of paper is way different from a cube, or how a circle is different from a sphere.

Concepts that are obvious to the adult mind are not always so to the emerging learner. Manipulatives are an especially good way to illustrate these higher level, dimensional concepts. Their look and feel also allows learners to visually count versus decipher from 2-D drawings the faces, edges and vertexes of each object.

The 12 shapes are pretty standard, but I especially liked the inclusion of both the square pyramid contrasting with that of the triangular prism which also has a square bottom. Seeing these two shapes together, in real space and time, allowed my second grader to begin to grasp complex shape differences and formation.

These are light-weight but sturdily constructed and brightly-colored shapes. And the plastic bucket is a handy container. I highly recommend adding this and the Learning Resources View-Thru Geometric Solids (LER4331) to your geometric toolkit.

Perfect for teaching the 6th grade CCGPS standards to my special needs students. They are brightly colored and easy to grasp. If they get tossed of or dropped, they do not hurt our toes and do not make loud noises on the floor.

My kids are learning sooooo much with this product. I just wished that it came with maybe things to put on the walls as a reminder to the kids. I had to do that myself. Kids really enjoyed the hands on experience.
