Original Polydron Frameworks Geometry Set - 268-Piece Maths Kit • The Dyslexia Shop

What is the Original Polydron Frameworks Geometry Set?

The Original Polydron Frameworks Geometry Set (code 10-3320) is a 268-piece maths construction kit from Polydron for children aged 6 and over. It contains 80 equilateral triangles, 60 isosceles triangles, 40 right angle triangles, 24 root 2 triangles, 30 squares, 20 hexagons, 12 pentagons and 2 Polydron protractors, plus a guide. Polydron describes it as ideal for the active classroom.

What can pupils build with the Frameworks Geometry Set?

The set lets pupils build many types of nets, prisms, cuboids and pyramids. Polydron states that it covers all the activities in the 'Mathematics with Polydron' book. Frameworks pieces let children see inside the shape and explore the space within, which makes the range useful for investigating angles, edges, vertices, planes and tangents. The 2 protractors add angle measurement to building work. Pieces are lightweight, easy to connect and fully compatible with the Original Polydron range.

For schools

Supports KS2 and KS3 geometry: nets, prisms, pyramids, angles and properties of 3D shape.
Seven triangle, square and polygon types allow a wide range of solids.
Protractors link construction with angle measurement.
Concrete resource for Quality First Teaching, intervention and SEND provision.

For parents and home use

Helps children practise shape topics from school through building.
Lightweight pieces make larger models achievable at home.
Joining pieces develops fine motor skills and careful planning.
Suitable from age 6, with challenge for older children too.

Supporting learners with SEND and learning differences

Hands-on construction helps many learners with SEND and learning differences understand geometry that can feel abstract in a textbook. Building a net and folding it into a prism shows exactly how the faces connect. Because Frameworks models stay open to view, children can point to and count every edge and vertex. Measuring real angles with a protractor on a model they made gives meaning to the numbers. Adults can choose simple or more demanding tasks to suit each learner.

The Original Polydron Frameworks Geometry Set is available to order from The Dyslexia Shop, a UK specialist in resources for SEND and learning differences.
