The 80 page K'NEX Educator Guide provides 25 lesson plans plus 166 activities and creative challenges. The guide presents information in three sections to meet the different teaching needs and styles of educators. Lesson plans and activities within the three sections (detailed below) are also coded to accommodate a mix of students of different ages and abilities: grades K-2, 3-5, and 6-8.

Section I: K'NEX InterActivities: Introduces students to K'NEX by providing a series of hands-on activities which reinforce basic concepts in math, science, technology and language arts. This section enables students and teachers to become comfortable with K'NEX, the buildable shapes and angles. It enhances creativity, critical thinking and problem solving. The activities help teachers establish effective group dynamics for using K'NEX in the classroom.

Section II: K'NEX X3 - Mathematics, Science and Technology: Systematically introduces students to many of the specific skills used in science, math, and technology to investigate the world. Students at all levels have the opportunity to complete fun, hands-on, critical thinking activities which enhance their abilities to sort, measure, sequence, make shapes, identify patterns and graph data. They can investigate symmetry and balance, work with simple machines, explore geometry and compute perimeters and areas. All concepts strengthen creativity and problem solving through tactile experiences.

Section III: K'NEX prints - Concepts learned are reinforced as students use two-sided, laminated color K'NEXprintActivity Cards to build simple and complex models from houses and airplanes to lunar landers and dynamo windmills. Each K'NEXprint Activity Card has a corresponding page in the Educator Guide which outlines extension activities for students, and includes Cultural Connections--the history and background on the object built from the K'NEXprint.These activities provide opportunities to practice and master skills dealing with open-ended discussions and discovery, research and investigation, application of real-world objects and ideas, and writing development.
