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.
Many different shapes and sizes. The bottoms come off, as do the small round flat stoppers that facilitate pouring substance into the shape, thru a small funnel. Looks like fun.
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.

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.
