GeoGems Solids

Mine the nuggets in 3-D shapes! Players develop skill in naming and identifying the properties of five kinds of prisms; three kinds of pyramids; plus spheres, hemispheres, cylinders, and cones displayed in different orientations. Includes two name card sets and four different property card sets that address vertices, faces, edges, bases, angles, parallel/perpendicular relationships, and rolling patterns. Deals with much of the 3-D geometry curriculum in state and national standards. Nets (patterns) for constructing most solids provide the added learning benefit of hands-on models. For 2-4 players.
