Colour Crystal Block SetSet of 25 with Plane Mirror

Product Information

Beautifully polished translucent acrylic blocks in different shapes, with a plane mirror, 15 work cards and teachers' notes included.

The smooth colourful tactile blocks are designed to enable children to explore light & colour, build patterns and sequences as well as create imaginative pictures.

• Regular polygons to help with mathematical language and the understanding of shapes and forms (square, triangle, oblong, circle, ellipse)
• Irregular shapes to enable more complex pictures to be made and to encourage a rich diversity of language such as wave, zigzag, arch, bridge etc
• Plane mirror for children to build patterns and see the effects of reflective symmetry
• Coloured and clear blocks so children can see the world in a different hue, overlay them to mix new colour combinations and use them on a light panel
• 15x pupil work cards from simple ideas to more complex challenges. There are pictures to copy in 2D or 3D, shape sequences to solve and ideas for reflective symmetry work.
• Teacher’s guide including background information, suggested activities to try, questions to ask the children and extension ideas. 

Set includes:

• 25x blocks
• 15x A4 work cards
