Using this comprehensive set, children will be able to follow their imaginative ideas from the planning stage through to testing out the final creation. Instructional work cards and teacher guidance provide you the opportunity to adapt activities to meet the developmental stage of the child or student.

Specialised pieces

Gears, struts, wheels, axles, propellor, pulleys, handles… you name it, all of the fundamental mechanical components are included. Pieces readily clip together by their edges, a design which makes them compatible with Polydron Original and Frameworks. Ideal if you’re looking to expand upon existing school stock.

Work cards included

The pack of 22 work cards will guide children through the construction of exciting machines. They’re split into three categories: principles, projects, and advanced projects. You’ll also find a 12-page teacher guide, designed to help you make the most of the resource in an educational context.

It's not just beneficial for STEM. Whenever children are using manipulatives they’re exercising their fine motor skills, including dexterity and hand-eye coordination. Working with others to build structures will enhance their teamworking and communication skills. And discussing their constructions will prompt use of descriptive technical language.
