Motivate students to investigate numerous mathematical concepts with these versatile, award-winning manipulatives patterned on the geometric building blocks of the natural world. The ingenious design of the shape- and color-coded struts and connector balls incorporates the Fibonacci sequence and the Golden Proportion - the very same ratios that govern the growth of cells, crystals, and other natural forms.

Hands-on explorations, easily tailored to suit a wide range of ability levels, will provide invaluable insights by enabling students to visualize abstract mathematical concepts. Zome components are user friendly and made of colorful, sturdy plastic.
Zome struts can be joined to a connector ball in 62 different ways, insuring that students will never face the frustration of "dead ends." There is always a connection, so even a neophyte can build advanced models.
