Description:
 
The Geometric Solids are one of many Montessori materials that challenge and shape a child's stereognostic sense, which is their ability to perceive and understand both the form and nature of objects through touch.
By working with these materials, children become aware of how shapes form the basis for everyday objects.
This set comes with a cylinder, cube, ellipsoid, cone, sphere, square-based pyramid, triangular-based pyramid, ovoid, rectangular prism and triangular prism painted blue.
This product aids in the development of the child's stereognostic sense, which creates a mental picture through touch. It helps make the child more aware of the basic shapes found in the cultural environment.
Indirectly,it helps to prepare the child for later work in Mathematics, especially geometry, by identifying solid shapes and exploring the relationships between their plane and curved surfaces.
