I would like to use this with a 4th grade gifted classroom. Is it appropriate for that grade level?

Yes, I bought the set for my son to use at home. The beauty of K'nex is that you'll be able to do much more than the given bridge designs. This year our Christmas tree is a 3D freestanding, 5.5ft K'nex construction which we have adorned with normal decorations. (My son is 7 yrs, he & my husband worked out the design for the tree).

I bought this set for my son who was in middle school, but the directions are very clear, similar to other K'NEX sets. I don't think your students will have any trouble following the directions and building the bridges. I recommend checking that you received all of the pieces before using in class. Mine was missing pieces but K'NEX quickly sent them to me. The set comes with CDs that include lessons and projects. I think gifted 4th graders can learn the concepts and complete the activities in these.

Used mine in a 5th grade classroom. The students in my rotation (70 students) would save all their pencils needing sharpening for my class because the sharpener worked so well. Used this sharpener the entire school year and it's still going strong.

Honestly, I wouldn't recommend them for that purpose, even for third graders. They just don't have a whole lot of tensile strength. Plus the edges are honestly kind of thin and sharp, not exactly what you want around kids. :)

It is great for small spaces. That's the reason I requested this kitchen for my PreK 4 classroom. However, it seems the height is more suitable for a 2-3 yr old child.

no, it should be good. I had my 8 and 6 yr old do it and my 4yr old neded help with it. It should not be too easy or boring for 8yr old.

Yes, it is. It's good for small projects , it's not very strong but enough for preschool.

I definitely don't think so. It is more like a toy for a child. It works, but I wouldn't risk a class grade on it.

Certainly the projects are appropriate for that age. My oldest is 3 1/2 but he is almost four feet tall. He just carried the whole workshop out of his bedroom and into the hall, lol. It is small, but he loves it. My friend's four year old girl loved playing with the tools too! I think it'll be fine.

I would say yes. We bought this desk for our son who was in kindergarten at the time. It fit it perfectly at that point. He is now in first grade and the desk is almost too low/small for him. I would suggest a step larger for a 2nd grader. Our son is also small for his age so this desk may not even work for some first graders.

I think that is best for pre-tens or teens. It can be use by adults also but check the dimentions first. It is a beautiful desk.

Yes. It is sensitive enoigh to pick up people talking and should work fine. The background noise it reads at is around 35. A classroom that's quiet would be around 45. 75 and they are talking too much.

Hi, this was a gift for my grand kid who is on the 3rd grade, her mom says that this is a great program and challenging for her daughter. Therefore I could not give you more info. My grand kid is advance in learning, so based on my daughter's response I think is a good buy. This is just my opinion. I hope this helps.

My son needed it for his music class. He is in the fifth grade. I think, personally, it could be used by a child younger than that and up to adult, as long as they were interested on learning to play an Instrument.

Probably not. however, you can hang it around your neck so it may work. I use it in my classroom with 25 5th graders and I can hear it when I am within a few feet

I bought this for my pre-schooler but the device comes with activates that if I had to say would be appropriate up to 3rd maybe up to 5th graders. ..my 1st grader, 2 nd grader, and 3rd grader play with it. Even though the graphics are more small kid focused I have even found fifth graders playing it, along with myself .lol.. Hope this helps.

I purchased this as a gift for my daughter's Pre-K class. Her teacher said it contains a variety of strong magnets. Four year olds use them independently in centers and as a learning tool with their teacher. I recommend this product for ages 4 and up.

I have a fourth grader and a sixth grader and they both can do use the item I believe any age from 2nd grade and up can use this item
