Speak Volumes

Discussing volume concepts is much easier when using these transparent shapes. Children can clearly see for themselves the abstract concepts you present.

Size Them Up!

Kids can easily make comparisons between the shapes, because they’re relationally sized. Smaller shapes are exactly half the size of their larger counterparts.

Full 14-Piece Set

Set features large and small: cube, rectangle, triangular prism, and cylinder. Also includes pentagonal prism, triangular pyramid, square pyramid, cone, sphere and hemisphere. Activity guide included.

    Useful,but you cannot compare volumes easily, in spite of the claim that they can be filled.
    I ordered these without knowing exactly how large they were. For size comparison I have taken a photo of a sample along with a can of soda for reference. They are useful for students who have difficulty visualizing the geometric solids. They have small holes in them, so in theory you could fill them with water and compare volumes. However, practically this is nearly impossible. The liquid does not pour easily out of the small hole and it is impossible to get it all out. Sand does not work either. So they are neither "Easy to fill" nor "easy to clean" They are also fairly fragile, one has already met its demise by being dropped on the classroom floor. That said, they are much less expensive than wood models, and being able to see through them allows you to hold them next to each other with the surfaces touching and the kids can see the surface that they share is then a different color.

    I think they are slightly fragile. They are not toys, and cannot withstand that type of use, for sure. But! As a learning/teaching aid, these things are super cool! They are see through and have an opening, with plug, to fill each shape with water, and demonstrate the concept of volume! I liked them as an introduction into shapes, and when I got them, I saw that they were to teach all about volume too! By far, one of the coolest little sets to have in your classroom/homeschool. They could stand to be a little more sturdy, and durable. I'm afraid to drop them. Also, should come with a graduated cylinder, for filing the shapes, and precise measuring. Needed em for science anyway, so I had to grab a pack of those.

    The box containing these geometric solids exclaims "See inside the world of geometry!" What's puzzling is why the recommended age for this view is ages 8+ or 3rd grade and up. My view is that the earlier you can introduce and excite your young learner about geometric shapes the better.

    These transparent and colorful shapes are a great supplement to the      Learning Resources Soft Foam Geometric Shapes (LER6120) . They are also a useful manipulative to have when working on the Sylvan's  Second Grade Geometry Success  and  Third Grade Geometry Success  grades.

    My second grader enjoyed matching the solid foam shapes to the transparent shapes which allowed us to have a discussion about volume and area. It was a revelation to him that triangles come in different sizes. My 4th grader likes counting the faces, edges and vertexes and double-checking her work by applying Euler's Formula (F + V = E + 2).

    Dimensional products allow multidimensional exploration, fun and learning. Make geometry transparently fun by adding this product to your collection of learning materials.

    My son, who loved mathematics and was learning 3D shapes, was excited and got what he wanted. He started to draw 3D shapes in a week, Shapes also were fun to play in the bath, and boys used them for other buildings. However, as always with all those small plastic toys, they were broken and half way lost parts. There is a small circle detail that is easily reattached, my boys were able to poor water because of the detail, but it can be dangerous for small babies.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Falls apart easily
    Reviewed in the United States on June 6, 2020
    Pattern Name: HelperVerified Purchase
    My kids love these shapes because they are bright, see through, and light up under an led light (great for light tables). I initially ordered these because teaching kids 3D objects using book pictures is difficult to differentiate between 2D when learning for the first time. It helped reinforce my son’s kindergarten knowledge and my autistic daughter visually understood better seeing these shapes. These shapes help to reinforce that a cube is very different from a square and helped them both later when I quizzed them on 2D vs3D using boom cards online.

    The con: the plastic bottoms fall off easily even when I’m holding them and there’s tiny plastic circles that pop off easily and lose quickly. Why these are not sealed up- I have no idea???!!! Maybe to show you can put stuff into a 3D object versus 2D. I bring generous to reason what is clearly a design flaw and choking hazard if you have children in the house of different ages that are in the mouthing stage. They feel so flimsy and if they were sturdy- would have been fun additions to our magna tiles, but they just even slightly fall off boom! The bottom has popped off! Wooden ones would have been better, but I liked these bright colors like the kids.

    Las figuras están muy bien, que sean de distintos colores facilita su identificación en cuanto a forma.

    Se desmonta la tapa de abajo y tiene, a demás, una pequeña tapita en el centro que se quita para poder rellenar de líquidos o sólidos la figura y comparar cantidad de volumen.

    Lo compré para que mi hijo pudiera adquirir noción de volumen y formas en las figuras geométricas, ya que le cuesta pasar del concepto plano al tridimensional.

    Adquirí también un libro de cuerpos geométricos recortables y montables para que pudiera ver la figura desarrollada en plano.
