School Jumbo Regular & Irregular Shapes [Pack 12]
Description
- Translucent colour geometric shapes in 6 bright colours, designed to offer foundation knowledge of the relationship between regular and irregular shapes
- The inner and outer puzzle pieces match, by their colour and their attributes, e.g. the orange pentagons each have 5 sides; the irregular shape fits inside the regular shape to reinforce the understanding that both shapes are still pentagons, even though they look different
- The set can be used to demonstrate that regular shapes have equal angles and sides; irregular shapes can have angles and sides of any value
- The mathematical extension of this process is that the sum of the interior angles of a regular shape will always be equal to the sum of the interior angles of the corresponding irregular shape
- An ideal resource for learning about shape names and their properties, as well as mathematical terms such as side, point, curve, inside, outside, flat, 2D, solid, 3D, angle and symmetry
- Can also be used for shape and colour recognition, colour mixing, as templates for drawing and colouring, as a shape matching puzzle and for investigating on a light panel
- The shapes are made from 3mm acrylic and each one comes with a 2.5mm hole at the top balance point so they can be strung up against a window or outdoors to create colourful shape shadows
- Size of circle: 150mm diameter
