What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · May 23, 2026
Geometro GS22 is a set of tactile, hands-on geometric shapes designed to teach three-dimensional geometry concepts through touch rather than sight. Students who are blind or have low vision can explore edges, vertices, and faces of 3D forms — cubes, prisms, pyramids — using physical manipulation rather than visual diagrams. This medium set includes a range of buildable or pre-formed shapes suitable for mid-level geometry instruction, typically upper elementary through middle school. It's a complete classroom manipulative set on its own, though it works best when integrated into a structured math curriculum with a teacher or vision specialist who can scaffold the concepts alongside the tactile exploration.
