Folding Geometric Shapes

The Folding Geometric Shapes 3D Learning Resources Set is an innovative hands-on maths resource designed to help students explore three-dimensional shapes and understand their two-dimensional properties. Ideal for classrooms, STEM activities and maths lessons, this interactive set supports learning about symmetry, perimeter, area, surface area and volume through practical investigation.

The set includes 16 pieces, featuring 8 transparent 3D geometric shapes and 8 matching folding net inserts. Each shape measures approximately 75mm high (3 inches) and can be folded flat, allowing learners to visualise how 3D shapes are created from 2D nets.

Included geometric shapes:

• Cylinder
• Square pyramid
• Cube
• Rectangular prism
• Cone
• Hexagonal prism
• Triangular pyramid
• Triangular prism

This versatile resource encourages students to identify, analyse, compare and construct geometric shapes while developing a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts through exploration and discussion.

Shapes fold flat to demonstrate 2D and 3D relationships. Shapes measure approximately 75mm high
