Geometiles 3D Building Set for Learning Math, Includes Many Online Activities, 96-pc, Made in USA

Eta: 5 months later and my students still love them. I pulled them out again after putting them away for a few months and they were really excited. One 8th grader said that he had gotten a set for Christmas. I teach 6th-8th grade math and this set is super fun and helpful for my classroom. I ordered the set for enrichment purposes, as well as to demonstrate concepts and have my students explore mathematical ideas. Middle school math has a lot of focus on 2D and 3D concepts--these are going to be great for showing different types of 3D figures and easily showing the relationship between the net and the 3 dimensional shape. We're really still in the beginning of the school year, but I can already tell that this will be a welcome addition to my classroom. The shapes are easily manipulated and stay together quite well. Like another review said, I like that they are not magnetic and therefore do not fall apart easily. And they are just plain fun! I had the set sitting on my desk for about 15 minutes and students were already asking to play with it. I have hardly been able to keep my hands off it either. These are great for all ages, just like the box says, but any middle school math teacher can rest assured that it will fit easily into your curriculum.

They are durable but hard to snap together. If this markets to 6 year olds, I think they would have trouble with this. The set of polygons they include makes it more of a toy than a math tool. There are a limited number of Platonic solids that can be made.

The story starts with my 3 year old and 8 year old playing with magnetic tiles at their cousins house. They were so enamoured with them that I bought a set. After some playtime, I got frustrated with the fact that this toy was too easily deconstructable. This toy had limits to its usability. After looking around, I found Geometiles. What a find! Geometiles was exactly what I craved, solid interlocking system of various shapes that kids could have endless fun with. Both my kids play with them and love them. My little one is thinking about how shapes put together make other shapes. My big guy loves to build intricate buildings with them and let his imagination roam free. What a great purchase. These tiles are built solidly, and interlock well together (unlike the magnetic version). The colors are great and the website is extremely helpful for parents and little geniuses alike. I couldn't recommend this educational toy more!

Geometiles are easy to use and let kids (and adults!) develop their spatial reasoning while building amazing geometric structures. They are a favorite among teachers and mathematicians and are a great purchase for any math enrichment program. Highly recommended!

This set is phenomenal to play with , similar to magna tiles but found in lots of children’s museums, the only negative was it was shipped not in a shipping box and the shipping label was on the front so if giving as a gift beware and it was opened when I rec it

Product was assembled and packaged extremely well. Nice product to help my children not only assemble (very nice snap fit design), but also enables a clear understanding of various shapes and how to calculate volumes. The shapes create great creativity with the various shapes and colors. I am excited to share these with the other moms in my children's classrooms and our close friends. These certainly will keep them busy--! I find them enjoyable as well to come up with various shapes. I find the website very well organized and has great instructions for the first time user.

These are fabulous, durable & so much fun to play with. They have provided endless hours of fun for my kids and I love that they are also teaching them geometry and symmetry at the same time.

These are incredibly hardy and easy to use. My son adores them more than magnetic shapes now. They came quickly and everything was in its place.
