The Basic Pieces
Each of the basic pieces have the same volume
except for the tetrahedron which is twice the others.


Octane	Double Corner	Solid Kite	Tetrahedron

-
Volume formulas that can be shown with these blocks.
-
Some Clusters
4 of these clusters are larger versions of the basic blocks.
So these larger blocks could be put together to make even larger blocks ad infinitum.
This assortment of 3-d tiles can fill space.


Cube (44 pieces)	Large Octane (8 pieces)	Large Right Double Corner (8 pieces)	Large Solid Kite (8 pieces)	Large Tetrahedron (12 pieces)

-
The face to face connectors are magnets.
When Zubek told me every face attaches to any other face,
I was skeptical, thinking it inevitable that
north would meet north or a south magnetic poles would meet south.
But these really work!
-
Universal connectors that make every face compatible with every other face
is an important strength of this toy.

The Happy Meal Toy that started it all

-
The 3 Triangular Faces
The faces of these pieces are one of 3 kinds of triangle
Since there are 3 kinds, it seems logical to fill them with the primary colors.


Equilateral Yellow	Isosceles Right Blue	Scalene Right Red
