What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · May 23, 2026
These pentagon tiles are supplemental pieces for the Geometro GS22 Medium Set, a tactile geometry system from APH that lets students construct 3D polyhedra by snapping together magnetic geometric panels. The pentagons specifically enable shapes like dodecahedra that can't be built with the standard set alone. This is designed for blind and low-vision students learning solid geometry — the hands-on, tactile approach lets them explore form and spatial relationships that a diagram or verbal description can't convey the same way. This is not a standalone product: it requires the Geometro GS22 Medium Set to be useful, and works best when incorporated into a structured math lesson by a teacher or vision specialist. Also note the listing shows this item as out of stock at the retail price, with Federal Quota eligibility, meaning qualified students may be able to obtain it through APH's quota funding program.
