Speak Volumes

Discussing volume concepts is much easier when using these transparent shapes. Children can clearly see for themselves the abstract concepts you present.

Size Them Up!

Kids can easily make comparisons between the shapes, because they’re relationally sized. Smaller shapes are exactly half the size of their larger counterparts.

Full 14-Piece Set

Set features large and small: cube, rectangle, triangular prism, and cylinder. Also includes pentagonal prism, triangular pyramid, square pyramid, cone, sphere and hemisphere. Activity guide included.

    Customers say the bottoms of the toy building blocks fall out easily. They mention that the clear plastic bottoms have small circular pieces that keep falling out. Some customers also mention that when they fill the 3D shapes, the bottom falls out with the weight of what they filled it with.

    Useful,but you cannot compare volumes easily, in spite of the claim that they can be filled.
    4 Stars
    Useful,but you cannot compare volumes easily, in spite of the claim that they can be filled.
    I ordered these without knowing exactly how large they were. For size comparison I have taken a photo of a sample along with a can of soda for reference. They are useful for students who have difficulty visualizing the geometric solids. They have small holes in them, so in theory you could fill them with water and compare volumes. However, practically this is nearly impossible. The liquid does not pour easily out of the small hole and it is impossible to get it all out. Sand does not work either. So they are neither "Easy to fill" nor "easy to clean" They are also fairly fragile, one has already met its demise by being dropped on the classroom floor. That said, they are much less expensive than wood models, and being able to see through them allows you to hold them next to each other with the surfaces touching and the kids can see the surface that they share is then a different color.
