The set is comprised of 11 square cubes, 6 large triangle forms (which, together, form three cubes divided diagonally), and 12 small triangular forms (which, together, form three cubes divided into quarters diagonally).

Visual Materials
One set of wooden blocks entitled Bradley's Kindergarten Material, No. 6, Sixth Gift, manufactured by the Milton Bradley Company, Springfield, Massachusetts, ca. 1900. The set is comprised of 17 wide rectangles, 12 square blocks, 6 thin rectangles. The blocks are housed within a wooden box with a sliding lid. A paper label with the title and manufacturer's name is mounted to the back side of the box. Each of the 17 wide rectangles measures 2" x 1" x 1/2" (5 cm x 2.5cm x 1.3cm). The six thin rectangles are half of a wide rectangle, i.e. 2" x 1/2" x 1/2" (5cm x 1.3cm x1.3cm). The 12 square blocks are also a half of the long rectangle, 1" x 1" x 1/4" (2.5cm x 2.5cm x 1.3cm). In addition, there is a cube of 1" per side with the number "2" penciled on a side. Some of the wood blocks appear to be replacements for lost blocks, others seem to have been used for a painting project. One block has blue paint or dye on one side, another black. One use for these blocks was as drawing models.
