Description:

Squares and Rectangles are designed to promote spatial observations while enjoying the sheer pleasure of creating bold and colorful designs. Each set employs a basic 6" increment used in various multiples to determine size. When a set is used with the frame provided, the challenge of filling the frame allows the potential for observations that are mathematical in character. (For example, it takes two of one size blocks to fill the same hole that is filled by one of another block.) On a continuum of complexity, 'Squares' is more limited in size options, making it easier to use in filling the frame. 'Rectangles' provide a great variety of design alternatives, are more challenging to fit the frame, and require a greater understanding of relative size.
