Editor's Review
HyperTiles are a construction toy based on a mathematical shape called a hyperbolic paraboloid. Invented by a teacher, the HyperTiles shapes can be linked together in an infinite number of ways. Inside the box you’ll find 48 tiles, 80 connectors, a drawstring storage bag, and instructions. The tiles come in a rainbow of colors, and you can use them to build however you want, or you can follow the instructions for beginner, intermediate, and expert builds. The side of the box explains a little more of the math behind HyperTiles and challenges kids to think in a different way.
