Learning Resources View-Thru Geometric Solids, 14 Pieces, Ages 8+

Great to use on a light table and generally with the children. Easy to handle for little children and the colours make them attractive to them.

My grandchildren build rockets, towers etc They are beautiful. I sometimes tell them their 3D name.

Chocking problem

These shapes are well worth the price. The size, color, and durability of each shape is amazing. I have no regrets purchasing this item. Just like the pictures show they are a nice size. Great for my homeschool. My kids love them and do not want to put them down. They are so interested in learn each ones correct name.

They started breaking as soon as we took them out of the box

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My grandaughter had so much fun with the cubes-so much better for learning than a flat textbok!

Really cool product. Shapes are smaller than I thought they would be.

Received as gift, opened it today and found that 2 of the plastic stoppers are missing. Very disappointed. Kids loved the look of the toy and its visually very attractive and easy to show 2D & 3D shapes to a 1st grader.

Only had for a short while. Students enjoy using them to compare to the other Dive into Shapes!Build Geometry Set. They have been holding up to Kindergarten use. I like the see through option compared to previous 3D shapes I have. It allows students to see the other parts easily to make comparisons.

So worth it, my little one has been using these on our light table and has learned so much about the features and names of these shapes through play experiences- and she's 2.

I purchased this product for my students who need visual teaching. When I teach areas of 3-dimensional shapes, it gives them a chance to see what they are multiplying. I definitely have to purchase at least four more sets because of the amount of groups I have.

fine

I do not agree with the previous review that the plastic is of poor quality. It is very durable. Yes, plastic is going to get scratched during play; but my set looks great just out of the box, and there is no other way to achieve the see through design in which you can explore volume. That's why I love these! My daughter enjoys adding rice & sand to the blocks, and she's only four. We've also used a light panel, & mirror as different surfaces to explore the blocks. These blocks will definitely grow with her, & I look forward to watching her make discoveries with them!

You've heard the cliche "Don't judge a book by its cover." I think I should have listened to that. I looked at the neat packaging of this product and the very attractive display of the geometric shapes that are supposedly inside the carton... and I bought it. I loved the colors and all the possible math concepts I could teach using these manipulatives. But when I opened the box, I was so disappointed by the quality of the plastic. It was so scratched and low-grade, you would think it was a second-hand item bought in a garage sale. I just bought it today and I deeply regretted wasting money on it. If only I could get the chance to return it immediately, I would. I should have gone with the wooden or foam type instead. It might turn out more sturdy.
