Excellerations® Tessellations Math Activity Set – 114 pieces with Storage

Ages 3+ / Grades PreK+

Explore the fascinating world of tessellations with this vibrant set of 104 wooden geometric shapes and 6 laminated activity cards. Children can explore geometry through matching, rotating, and flipping shapes to replicate or invent colorful patterns, making it ideal for individual exploration or classroom centers.

• WHAT YOU GET: Includes 104 wooden pieces: 18 pieces each of 6 shapes: squares (2-1/2″ x 2-1/2″ x 1/8″), trapezoids (3-1/2″ x 2-3/4″ x 1/8″), hexagons (2-3/4″ x 2-1/2″ x 1/8″), rhombuses (3-1/2″ x 2-1/4″ x 1/8″), triangles (2-1/2″ base x 2-1/2″ h x 1/8″), and crosses (2-1/2″ x 2-1/2″ x 1/8″), plus 6 laminated pattern cards (8″ x 11″), a Teacher Guide, all in a plastic clear bin 9″ x 13″ x 2″.
• GEOMETRIC EXPLORATIONS: Supports hands-on learning about shapes, symmetry, patterning, and spatial reasoning through tessellation creation using 6 classic geometric forms.
• MATCH, ROTATE, FLIP FOR PATTERNS: Kids can replicate the designs on the included activity cards or freely experiment to create their own colorful arrangements and geometric artworks.
• EASY TO HANDLE: Generously sized and lightweight wooden pieces are designed for young learners to grasp, sort, and place with ease. Perfect for both individual and group use.
• COLORFUL DESIGNS: Each shape is painted in 3 related shades, adding depth and variation to the tessellation patterns such as light, medium, and dark blue squares or green trapezoids.
