Geometric Shapes and Nets Feb 11, 2007
By mathlete
Excellent resources for teaching geometric solids and their nets. The plastic nets contained within each polygon fold out so that students can easily see the shapes that make up the polygon. You can purchase a set of solid transparent tiles for use with a transparency projector that compliment this set of solids. This additional set contains tiles showing the outlines of the geometric and solid colored tiles in the shape of the net. For example, the geometric solid of a hexagonal prism has a yellow plastic net folded inside the clear plastic solid. This net can be removed and unfolded. There are two tiles (in the complementary set)which coordinate with this shape - a clear tile with the outline, in yellow, of the hexagonal prism's edges, and a transparent yellow tile in the shape of the hexagonal prism net.
I found these resources a vast improvement over the Power Solids that are traditionally used in Middle School. The price is also excellent.

Great learning tool Sep 28, 2009
By Eden G. Donahou
These are wonderful to use in Math classrooms. I used it in the past for Middle School Geometry and now at College level. Surface Area, Volume, even density can all be explained using these shapes. The nets are durable and students can trace them and create their own 3-D figures.
Fantastic Resource! Jan 24, 2011
By EastCoastSkiBum
Essential resource for students to learn both the 2D and 3D representations of these geometric figures. Being able to remove the net from the three dimensional shape and visually see how one becomes the other, gives this product great value!
