Get a real crash course in shapes with 170 unique geometric pieces
designed for big, brainy construction! Aligned to multiple CCSS geometry
standards for grades K–2, this bucketful of learning inspires the
imagination with myriad 2-D and 3-D shape-building possibilities, plus
unique curved pieces for making circles, cylinders, and spheres. It’s time to
go to work and get building!
CCSS Alignment:
This product comprehensively targets Common Core State Standards for
Geometry in grades K–2. Visit our website to learn more!
Notes for Use:

•The holes around the circumferences of each connector are spaced differently. The red connectors have holes 60 degrees apart, and the orange connectors have holes 45 degrees apart.

•There are enough pieces in this set for approximately 4–8 students to simultaneously build 2-dimensional shapes, and for approximately 3–4 students to build 3-dimensional shapes.

Getting Started Before doing the activities, familiarize children with the pieces and their functions in building common shapes. Show how to connect the pieces and point out the differences between the two connectors (see Notes for Use, above). After students have had a chance to explore and build freely with the pieces, introduce the following activities.

Activities: Building 2-DShapes—Build common 2-D shapes such as a square, triangle, rectangle, hexagon, rhombus, and circle. Start building with the medium sticks; progress to making similar shapes that are larger or smaller. For a challenge, try building shapes with different-size sticks. For example, build a triangle by combining small and medium, or medium and large sticks. You can build half- and quarter-circles too!

Attribute Analysis—Once students have built several shapes, compare them by attribute such as number of sides and vertices (or corners), lengths of sides, and so on. Discuss defining attributes (e.g., number of sides) and non-defining attributes, such as color, orientation, and size.

Combining Shapes—Combine simple shapes to make a new shape, in either two or three dimensions. Some shape combinations include joining two triangles to make a rectangle, two cubes to make a rectangular prism, and so on. Note: When combining two shapes that share a side, the

new shape will usually share one stick, rather than requiring the use of multiple sticks.

Building 3-DShapes—Build traditional 3-D shapes such as cubes, prisms, and cylinders. Hint: start with two same-shape bases and connect them using sticks to add the dimension of height. For a real challenge, build a sphere!

Shapes in the World—Build 3-D shapes, and then discuss which real-world shapes they could represent. Also, try combining 3-D shapes to make recognizable figures: for example, combine a rectangular and triangular prism to make a house. Be creative—the possibilities are endless!

Equal Shares—Teach fractions by partitioning 2-D shapes, such as circles, squares, and rectangles, into two and four equal shares. Demonstrate with smaller sticks and connectors inside of shapes, or simply lay larger sticks over the shapes’ faces to easily reposition them (i.e., you can partition a square into 4 smaller squares or 4 triangles, depending on position). Describe parts of a whole using terms like halves, fourths, and quarters, and refer to the partitioned shape in two or four parts. Also, try partitioning circles, hexagons, and rectangles into thirds!

ES

Juego de construcción de figuras geométricas

Incluye:

• 24 conectores naranjas (10 agujeros)	• 36 varillas medianas
• 24 conectores rojos (8 agujeros)	• 30 varillas pequeñas
• 24 varillas largas	• 32 curvas

Sobre su uso:

•El juego contiene suficientes piezas para que 4-8 estudiantes contruyan de manera simultánea formas en 2D, y para que 3-4 estudiantes construyan formas en 3D.

•Los agujeros alrededor de las circunferencias de cada conector cuentan con un espaciado distinto. Los conectores rojos tienen agujeros separados por 60 grados, y los conectores naranjas tienen agujeros separados por 45 grados.

Introducción

Antes de realizar actividades, permita que los niños se familiaricen con las piezas y sus funciones en la construcción de figuras comunes. Muéstreles cómo conectar las piezas y señale las diferencias entre dos conectores (ver Notas de Uso, líneas arriba). Luego que los estudiantes han tenido la oportunidad de investigar y construir libremente con las piezas, presente las siguientes actividades.
