Solid shapes with lids for exploring 3D geometry
The EDX Education 5cm Geometric Volume Set, EDX code 21320, is a set of 17 plastic solids with lids, each built on a 5cm base, for hands-on work with 3D shapes.
The distributor, Educational Vantage, lists the shapes as including a cube, cylinder, cone, sphere and hemisphere, along with triangular, rectangular, pentagonal and hexagonal prisms and square, triangular, rectangular, pentagonal and hexagonal pyramids. The listing describes the solids as durable plastic with rounded corners and edges, and gives each shape a 5cm base.
A common 5cm base lets students compare shapes side by side and talk about faces, edges and vertices. Prisms and pyramids that share a base shape make it easy to set up comparison tasks. Rounded corners and edges, as the distributor describes them, make the solids comfortable to pass around a group.
Seventeen solids with lids give a whole group shapes to handle and compare. Build a geometry kit from the EDX Education range, add more maths equipment, find drawing tools in rulers and geometry, or browse teacher resources for lesson support.
