For ages 9+
Supports state and national mathematics standards. Builds expertise in naming 3D shapes and identifying their properties. Features 8 kinds of prisms and pyramids (polyhedrons), plus spheres, hemispheres, cones and cylinders.
Strengthens geometric literacy and sharpens observation of properties as players apply words such as faces, edges, vertices, angles, parallel, perpendicular and congruent. Sets of two kinds of name cards and four different property cards offer several levels of play. Players travel in any direction around the board, claiming the name or a property of the shape on which they land. The winner is the first to fill all of the spaces on their card.
Nets or patterns for constructing solids, along with lesson suggestions, are included to provide important hands-on learning experiences. Covers a significant part of the geometry curriculum addressed in both state and national standards.
