The Original Folding Geometric Shapes
This innovative folding geometric shape set is perfect for hands-on lessons in symmetry, perimeter, area, surface area and volume. Each three-inch shape folds flat, allowing for illustration of a three-dimensional shape's two-dimensional properties. Edges are all rounded for safety.
Great way for students to identify, analyze, compare, and compose 3-D shapes. Describe, build, and compare shapes while focusing on area, perimeter, volume, and more. Rounded edges and corners.

Product Description
Product Description
This folding geometric shape set transforms abstract mathematical concepts into tangible learning experiences for students ages 7 and up. The ingenious design features eight essential 3D shapes-a cylinder, square pyramid, cube, rectangular prism, cone, hexagonal prism, and two triangular pyramids-each crafted with a unique folding mechanism that allows them to collapse into their flat net patterns. This transformative feature creates powerful "aha moments" as children visualize the direct relationship between 2D and 3D forms. Teachers and parents alike praise how these manipulatives make complex geometric principles accessible and engaging. Students can physically explore symmetry by examining how shapes fold along their lines of symmetry. The transparent outer shells paired with colorful inner nets provide perfect visual contrast when calculating perimeter, area, and surface area. For volume lessons, the hollow shapes can be filled with water or other materials, demonstrating comparative volume relationships (like how a pyramid occupies 1/3 the volume of a corresponding prism). Beyond basic measurements, these shapes encourage deeper mathematical thinking. Children naturally begin to identify properties of different solids, analyze how faces, edges, and vertices connect, and develop spatial reasoning skills as they compose and decompose the 3D forms.
