Geometric Cabinet Shapes

Introduction to plane geometry

The development of hand-eye-brain pathways to recognize these shapes is the most important part of this presentation. Touching the shape and their frame outlines are critical to the exercise. Learning the terminology is secondary. This is why we cannot substitute printed cards for the real thing.

Once you have these shapes, you can easily make the thin, thick, and solid shape cards.

I was pleased to find this geometric cabinet on CAN Smarter Montessori Materials Store on Aliexpress for a good price. The specifications are authentic, and all the shapes are correct. As I recently saw some truncated sets for sale, I wanted to warn everyone to shop carefully.

This year, I am encouraging parents and children to put big ticket Montessori items on their gift list to provide friends and family with an educational gift option!
