3D Building Set for Learning Math, Includes Many Online Activities, Jumbo Size, 512-pc, Made in USA

These are absolutely wonderful materials! They come with excellent support documentation and many, many brilliant ideas for math challenges. I am so thrilled we are able to use these amazing materials in our math club.

I love Geometiles. I am college mathematics professor who likes to engage students with math “toys”, I like to play, and I like building. Geometiles has definitely become one of my favorite media for these activities. I have used Geometiles to engage students of all ages in a variety of mathematics topics, ranging from the more obvious explorations of polyhedra, symmetry, and tessellations, to topics likes four color theorem and Euler’s characteristic. It has been fun coming up with different types of 2D and 3D “puzzles” for students. Using Geometiles guarantees student engagement. In our university outreach events, a Geometiles station has become a staple. At home, we play with Geometiles often, and have used them to create hats, bowls, boxes, doll houses, cars, place mats, an many other, often functional, objecys. The more we play, the more ideas we get of how we could use them. I have tried lots of other building sets, some of them are difficult to put together, flimsy, or have joints that break easily. In contrast, Geometiles feel sturdy, click together well and withstand rough handling. They are labeled for ages 6 and up, and I would say that is definitely appropriate. I have tried them for younger audiences, and younger kids have a hard time snapping them together. I recommend Geometiles as a great building set for anyone 6 and up !

For a while, I had been dreaming of purchasing Geometiles for my math circle students. At last, we obtained a microgrant and decided to invest in a jumbo set of Geometiles. They were worth the wait and every penny we spent purchasing them. From day 1, our students fell in love with Geometiles and the endless possibilities to create they provide. This versatile and sturdy "toy" will help us explore deep math and geometry concepts. I can't wait for us to continue to dive into the beautiful math that Geometiles helps bring to life!

Great toy for children that allows them to explore geometry in a playful way.
