This is perfect for teaching geometric nets of shapes - a 3rd grade standard. It also is great for showing the shape of the base to determine if it's a square pyramid or triangular pyramid, etc. Great tool for teachers.

What I expected. Good for classroom use when teaching nets and polygons.

A learning tool that helped my 10 year old and my 18 year old. This is a great product that that can be used to teach several math concepts and illustrates so learning is easier. Very glad I ordered.

I purchased this more in dire need than as my typical "research the heck out of it". I was not disappointed. Pros: Beautiful, clear geometric shapes with the folding nets that store inside. Excellent visual for a whole class: the triangular prism fits perfectly within the cube, and three of the square pyramids filled with rice filled the cube. The next day the students (7th grade) were still talking about it. Cons: The removable plastic "lids" (bases?) tend to pop off, and some of the nets are already trying to break the bounds of their respective 3-D shapes. The 8 cm side of the cube measures the same as the triangular prism and square pyramid - on the OUTSIDE. This is NOT helpful when you try to put 512 centimeter cubes within the 8 cm cube - they don't fit. It was kind of a bummer not to be able to show that part of concept. Overall: I'm going to buy more of these so teams of students can use them. Even with the short-comings, these geometric shapes are the best I've found.

I really love this resource for teaching geometry and nets. My only complaint is that it is so pricey that I could only get one set for all my students. As a result, we have to use them in small groups or centers. The shapes are well made and help those students that are struggling to visualize when it comes to 3-D shapes.

I love this product! Great for use in my kindergarten classroom to teach about 3-d shapes, and which flat shapes they are made up of. The one downfall--the pieces fit inside of each other, and the inside piece tends to get stuck and difficult to pull apart.

These shapes are sturdy enough for home schooling or tutoring. I am not sure they would handle class room abuse. I used a sharpie to draw on the clear shape to show the layers for calculating volume. I had the students fll the large cube and pour them into the pyramid with the matching face and it shows perfectly how the volume od a pyramid is 1/3 of the cube. So much better then flat shapes in a book.....

I thought I was going to really like these teaching shapes, and my students did enjoy them, but the cover won't stay on the cone. We have to keep it taped on there or the bottom comes off and the insert falls out.

Idéal pour l'apprentissage par la manipulation. On peut utiliser les solides pour comparer les volumes en les remplissant d'eau ou de sable par exemple. C'est idéal.

HA SIDO MUY GRATA LA COMPRA DE ESTE MATERIAL MI ESPOSA ES MAESTRA Y LE HA SIDO MUY UTIL

Very good introduction tool for geometry as it has the 3D shapes and the net shapes but it only had 8 shapes -some sets come with more. The size was excellent though for using it for volume measurements as well. It helped my 8 year old sone but my 2 year old likes getting them out and putting them all together too. Strong shapes, strong plastic and strong net shape inserts as well. Very durable, excellent quality

Está muy bien, porque - Tiene las figuras básicas que se estudian en clase - La pieza que se saca (el desarrollo) es de plástico duro y se puede manipular sin que se rompa, escribir con tiza o rotulador borrable encima.. sin que se rompa - Los prismas, al ser transparentes permiten escribir encima e incluso llenarlo de agua o similar para poder ver el volumen de la pieza, eso es chulísimo y les encanta. La única pega es la tapa de los prismas que no encaja muy bien y se cae continuamente, deberían tener algún sistema tipo bisagra para que no cayera.
