Attribute Blocks (Product Code: SLE/MAT/54) are a set of shapes that differ in colour, size and thickness, used for sorting and classifying activities in pre-primary and early primary maths. Each set has 5 shapes in 3 colours, so children learn to describe each block by its shape, colour, size and thickness together. They are made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM school educational lab equipment manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

Attribute Blocks are a sorting tool before they are a counting tool. Children group blocks by one attribute, such as colour, and then by two or three at once, learning words like thick, thin, big and small along the way. This is the pre-number sense and maths vocabulary that later counting depends on.
Popular activities include difference trains, where each block must differ from the last by exactly one attribute, and sorting into two overlapping hoops. Older children can use the blocks to make repeating patterns and pictures and to explore simple measurement and fraction ideas.
Attribute Blocks are produced by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, known as ScienceLab, which is their original equipment manufacturer. The company makes them at its own licensed factory in Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and deals directly with pre-schools, primary schools, dealers and importers. More about the company is on the ScienceLab company profile.
