Learning Resources Translucent Geometric Shapes, Geometry, Common Core, Ages 4+

I bought this product for my grandson and he loves it.

So many shapes!! You definitely get a lot for your money and the possibilities are endless. We have been using them on our light table not only to learn about the shapes- their features, size, sorting... But my daughter loves to just make pictures with them which keeps her very busy!

I am very happy eith the product. I do wish that more shapes would be added such as oval shapes and different sizes of rectangles would be nice. Thank you.

Think these are a great product. The description I feel is misleading though. I ordered two sets of these because I thought each set only contained the 14 different shapes. Was very surprised when they arrived and each set contained 408 pieces.

We received the Translucent Geometric Shapes from Learning Resources. These are great for children 4 years of age and up. I think these would be a great tool to use to teach preschool children about basic shapes. They come in a variety of fun colors. They are a fun tool to help teach about basic geometry. This comes with 408 pieces. The set includes polygons, and circles. This is also a neat way to help your child understand fractions. The set is also aligned with Common Core and is meets the standards for geometry. free sample provided for a blog review

One thing that I really like about the set is that there are several different sizes and shapes. For instance, there are five different types of triangles included. This means that we can not only show what a triangle is, but we can go more in depth and talk about right triangles, equilateral triangles, etc. Other shapes included are: Squares, circles, hexagons, rectangles, rhombuses, trapezoids, half circles, and quarter circles. There is really so much that you can do with this set! It's great for sorting and classifying by color and/or shape. My daughter likes to make pictures with the shapes and then use some of the smaller shapes to create larger shapes. It has even been helpful with my 9 year old son, in talking about fractions. This is definitely a set that will get a lot of use, for a long time to come.
