How this product aligns with the EYLF

Developing early STEM and problem-solving skills
The Conexion Set encourages children to explore geometry and spatial awareness through hands-on manipulation of shapes. By connecting different polygons, children engage in problem-solving as they experiment with building various three-dimensional structures, fostering their understanding of mathematical concepts.

Supporting play-based learning and inquiry
This product invites open-ended exploration, allowing children to engage in play-based learning as they investigate how shapes can connect and transform. Through collaborative building activities, children can express their ideas and hypotheses, promoting inquiry and critical thinking within a playful context.

Relevant EYLF Outcomes
Outcome 4: Children are confident and involved learners.
Outcome 5: Children are effective communicators.

Classroom, Play Activity & Provocation Ideas

Classroom & Learning Area Ideas
Set up a dedicated building area where children can freely access the Conexion Set, encouraging independent exploration of shapes and structures. Incorporate the set into a mathematics learning corner, linking it to discussions about shapes, measurements, and spatial relationships.

Play-Based Activity Ideas
Encourage children to work in pairs or small groups to create specific structures, fostering collaboration and communication skills. Introduce challenges such as building the tallest tower or creating a specific shape, prompting critical thinking and problem-solving.

Provocation Ideas
Provide visual prompts or images of complex structures for children to replicate using the Conexion Set, stimulating their curiosity and creativity. Invite children to share their creations with peers, encouraging storytelling about their building process and the shapes they used.
