Fractiles 7: Fractal Geometry
Fractiles is an educational toy that teaches children and adults about the elegance of symmetry and geometry and increases visual perception and analysis – skills that are essential to understanding mathematics, reading, writing and science. For a similar but less mathematical magnetic kit with a more artistic aspect see our Magnetic Art kits. To see other recommended magnetic toys click Fractiles. Fractiles make a great travel toy, as they can occupy a child's imagination for hours of fun. At the same time they are playing with fractiles, they are also learning about polygons, scale & proportion, symmetry, angles, and pattern recognition. A kind of stealth learning. The name, Fractiles, derives from the word "fractal", the phenomenon of scaling or the repeating of a pattern on every scale. Whatever pattern we see in our world, turns out to be only a minute portion of a much larger, yet similar, pattern or structure. That larger structure is, in its turn, just a small part of an even larger but still similar structure. In stock. Usually ships within 24 hours. |
