Magformers Geometry Set: Plane and Space
Magformers Geometry Set: Plane and Space
The Magformers Geometry Set: Plane and Space offers an enriching extension to your educational tools, designed to cultivate early mathematical skills. This set serves as an add-on to Box 1, and is essential for teaching geometry in elementary schools, specifically targeted for use in grades 3 to 5.
This kit includes 36 educational cards and 43 versatile geometric pieces, such as:
- 1 x rectangle composed of three squares
- 2 x small rectangles
- 2 x long rectangles
- 1 x tall triangle
- 4 x right-angled triangles
- 6 x rhombuses
- 8 x quarter-circles
- 2 x half-circles
- 4 x quarter-cylinder surfaces
- 8 x eighth-spherical surfaces
- 4 x quarter-cone surfaces
- 1 x mirrored rectangle
Each set comes with a comprehensive guide containing methodical instructions ideal for both children and parents, developed in collaboration with RNDr. Marie Kupčáková, Ph.D., a certified educator. These lesson cards are structured to support educational programs by strengthening and expanding students' geometric understanding while streamlining curricular content.
The goal of this project is to both invigorate the teaching of geometry and foster the recognition of plane (2D geometry) and space (3D geometry) in students. The material supports various educational settings, facilitating learning for children from different backgrounds, including those requiring inclusive education approaches.
Magformers sets are suitable for individual learning or station activities, and if equipped sufficiently, can be used for whole-class teaching. The cards predominantly feature visual content, making them accessible for non-native speakers and inclusive education environments.
