Hi there! In this new post, the material is going to be one of the Montessori's method materials. Montessori pedagogy is based on sensorial education and motor skills education to create the materials for the different "subjects". In Montessori's classrooms, children are using the materials freely and they are all working in different things.
So, the topic that we are going to expose in the didactic application is plane figures and in Montessori children use puzzles (Figure 1) and they can also use flashcards (Figures 3). As I said, sensorial and motor skills are important in Montessori's dynamics, and this is a main material to develop these skills. In Figure 1 you can see the material as you can found it in Montessori, the pupils take off one of this drawers and they can use it in different ways:
1- To do the puzzles. Children have to recognize the figure and it space to place it and do the puzzles. This activity has a variant doing it with the eyes blindfolded (Figure 2) and finding the place with the touch. This is a way to work sensorial and motor skills deeply.
2- Using flashcards. Flashcards are the most versatile resources in education, and it is also in Montessori's method. In this activity, you can use flashcards in which the figures appear or the name of the figure, so children have to identify them and they are learning their names too.
3- To draw. They can take off the pieces and draw the outline in a paper, so they are more close to create the figure and they are improving their fine motor skills by drawing with precision. They can paint them with color in the inside or draw them without using the piece, only seeing it as a model.
