Montessori Shape Work

When learning shapes, students in Montessori classrooms first develop an understanding of the object in comparison to other shapes and a relevant application for each shape—before learning the names. Montessori: Shape Work, inspired by this process, offers your child die-cut shapes to trace with their fingers, grouped by family for comparison, and illustrated with a familiar object for relevancy.

Featured shapes include three triangles (equilateral, isosceles, right-angled); three rounds (circle, oval, ellipse); three parallelograms (square, rectangle, rhombus); and three polygons (pentagon, hexagon, octagon).
