Description
An incredible product for a kinesthetic learner! Containing 1748 Zome pieces (500 Zome node balls and 1248 Zome struts) and a handy carrying case, this massive activity based program will allow you to build a plethora of geometric shapes. While the regular blue, yellow and red struts are included, you will also receive Green-lines, Half-Greens and Hypershort reds as well. Of the 500 balls, 400 are white and 100 are black. Several smaller instructional manuals are included, but to get all of the instructional material, you will want to download the various kit instructional book PDFs from the Zometool website. With enough parts for 4-8 children and every Zome part available, you can build any Zome model except one (the Hyperdo interior and exterior at the same time; although each one can be built separately). Please note that the Zome Geometry book is no longer included.
The STEAM kit includes only the Zometool System Manual and the Green line instructions, not the Zome Geometry Book. Please bear with us as we are updating our graphics to match. Thank you!
Publisher's Description of Steam Kit
We took the best features of our Advanced Math, STEM and Classroom Kits and condensed them into this compact and powerful kit.
With a single exception*, you can build all of the models featured in our Project Kits, download all instructions here. "
We have included every single type of part we make in this kit. This means that in addition to our standard Blue, Yellow and Red struts, you will also get Green-lines, Half-Greens and Hypershort reds.
We also put in 400 White balls PLUS 100 Black balls which make your models look wicked cool and will come in handy for teaching / learning.
Please note, this kit does not include colored balls other than black and white. If these are of interest to you we highly recommend you supplement this kit with our Connexions Kit
*You can build the outer shell of the Hyperdo, or the interior of it. But not all of it at the same time
Category Description for Zome Geometry
An incredible product for a kinesthetic learner to explore Geometry. The STEAM Kit contains 1188 Zome pieces and a handy carrying case, this massive activity based program will allow you to build a plethora of geometric shapes. The Zome Geometry book (included with the STEAM Kit or available separately) contains a variety of step by step instructions for different designs, as well as displaying some unique ways to create bubbles! The activities in the Geometry book cover a wide range of topics including Angles, Polygons, Platonic Solids, Symmetry, Euler's Theorem, Cubes, Area, Volume, Coordinates, Fractals, and much much more. Each of the 24 units begins with some teacher notes and then contains multiple lesson-size activities. The activities each start with a 'Challenge,' which students can attempt (explore) on their own, but may not be able to complete. This sets the foundation upon which the activity develops, and the answers to the 'Challenge' are soon understood. There are questions throughout the activities with the answers included in the back of the book. The activities will help to build spatial, conceptual, visualization, and geometric skills. There is a 25th unit which contains some further explorations for those that did not fit into the other units. You will be fascinated as your student starts to explore, build, discover, and make key observations. An excellent course supplement, or great to use as a stand alone for an elective. ~ Carl
