This giant set of attribute blocks is perfect for young children who will benefit from being able to manipulate the blocks with ease. The 60-piece set includes five shapes, two sizes, two thicknesses and three colours.

Educational benefit

Attribute blocks tap into the key skills of sorting and categorising using logical thinking. Sorting may be simple or complex (i.e. with use of Venn and Carroll diagrams), and classifying will help students to practise using mathematical language.

Colourful and practical resource

The primary colours red, blue, and yellow, lend themselves to sorting activities where clearly contrasting features are important. These shapes are smooth to the touch, made from a durable plastic, ideal for use in a busy classroom environment. Being plastic, they have the bonus of being simple to wipe clean for hygiene purposes between classes.

Working with Attribute Blocks will expose students to inductive reasoning and the series of deductive reasoning, where a series of logical arguments are strung together. The development of mathematical language ‘and’, ‘or’, ‘not, ‘if’… then may all be developed when using Attribute Blocks.
