The Small Attribute Blocks – Set of 60 provides a hands-on way for students to explore sorting, classification, patterns, geometry and logical thinking. Featuring five geometric shapes across three colours, two sizes and two thicknesses, the set allows students to compare and classify pieces using one or multiple attributes. The tactile blocks help make abstract mathematical relationships more visible and accessible, progressing from simple colour and shape sorting to more complex activities using Venn diagrams, Carroll diagrams and classification trees. Compact in size, the set is ideal for individual, paired and small-group activities across Foundation to Year 6. Applications and Use • Sort and classify blocks according to shape, colour, size and thickness. • Explore similarities and differences by comparing multiple attributes simultaneously. • Use with Venn diagrams to investigate sets, intersections and classification rules. • Create Carroll diagrams and tree diagrams to organise blocks according to different criteria. • Explore the properties and relationships of circles, squares, triangles, hexagons and rectangles. • Develop patterns and sequences using different combinations of attributes. • Challenge students to create sorting rules for classmates to identify and solve. Features • Includes 60 attribute blocks for hands-on maths and logic activities. • Four attributes – shape, colour, size and thickness – provide numerous sorting and classification possibilities. • Five geometric shapes support exploration of 2D shape properties and relationships. • Three colours provide additional options for sorting, patterning and data activities. • Two sizes and two thicknesses allow students to make increasingly complex comparisons and classifications. • Suitable for individual, partner and small-group learning. • Compact format is ideal for numeracy rotations and classroom learning centres. Specifications • Quantity: 60 pieces • Shapes: Circle, square, triangle, hexagon and rectangle • Largest Piece: Square – 5 cm × 5 cm • Recommended Age: Foundation to Year 6 • Recommended Use: Sorting, classification, patterning, geometry, Venn diagrams, Carroll diagrams and logical reasoning
