Product Description

Geometric Solids

 

Solides géométriques

 

The geometric shapes are a sensorial introduction to solid geometry and stimulate interest in shapes.

The 10 wooden solids have a hardwearing stained blue finish.

Cube

Cuboid

Sphere

Ovoid

Ellipsoid

Cylinder

Cone

Triangular Prism

Triangular Pyramid

Square Pyramid

3 wooden stands are included for the curved shapes.

The bases which match the various faces of the solids so that a child can associate the plane shapes to their solids are available separately.

This set of three-dimensional shapes are used to teach children about geometry. 

  1. Sensorial Activities: The geometric solids can be used for sensorial activities, where children can explore the different shapes through touch and sight. They can feel the weight, texture, and shape of each solid, helping to develop their senses and spatial awareness.

  2. Language Activities: The geometric solids can also be used for language activities, such as teaching children the names of the different shapes. Children can match the shape to its corresponding name card, helping to develop their literacy and language skills.

  3. Maths Activities: The geometric solids can also be used for maths activities, such as teaching children about the properties of 3D shapes, such as faces, edges, and vertices. Children can count the number of faces or edges on each solid, helping to develop their maths skills.

Overall, the Montessori geometric solids are a useful tool for teaching children about geometry and spatial awareness in a hands-on and engaging way. They can help to promote children's exploration, discovery, and learning, and provide a solid foundation for further mathematical and scientific studies.

Also available in a natural wood version 

ELG: Shape, space and measures: children use everyday language to talk about size, weight, capacity, position, distance, time and money to compare quantities and objects and to solve problems. They recognise, create and describe patterns. They explore characteristics of everyday objects and shapes and use mathematical language to describe them.

NC: Geometry: Properties of Shapes

 

WARNING: Not suitable for 0-3 years - Small Parts: Choking hazard.
