Sensorial
A KEY TO THE ENVIRONMENT
Sensorial materials qualify the exploration and knowledge of the environment through the child’s senses. It is a true cultural form that leads to perfectioning one’s personality, at the same level of language or mathematics. The sensorial materials connect the body and the mind thanks to their innate qualities: the isolation of quality, shade and error control which allows the child to correct itself. “With the sensorial materials we give a guide, a kind of impression classification you can get from each sense: colour, sound, noise, form and dimension, weight, tactile impression, smell and flavour… These qualities could be compared to the alphabet: a few sounds compared to countless words. Giving the qualities separately is like giving an exploration alphabet: that is to say, a key to open the doors of knowledge.” (Maria Montessori, The discovery of the child)

This material refines the child’s ability to visually distinguish colours and figures. Like other Montessori materials for very small children, this material helps to develop concentration, will, intelligence. The cubes and parallelepipedons in relation between each other give a practical representation of algebraic formulae (a+b), the generic binomial...

As from the age of three, this material introduces the child to studying plane geometry, showing how many plane figures can be made using only identical triangles. This material is also very useful in primary school, in particular when dyslexic children first start to study geometry. The blue triangles can be supported by nomenclatures, drawings or prints.

From the age of 4 years the working with this material the child will learn that all plane geometrical figures can be constructed from triangles. It allows to evaluate the length of the sides and the angles by simply putting more elements one on top of the other. This material is also very useful in primary school, in particular when dyslexic children...

This material encourages the freedom of choice and concentration. It sharpens the visual perception by educating the sense of sight related to the length as well as the ability to distinguish differences. Moreover, it develops the ability of seriation and gives the child important keys to its environment, expressed on various levels, including the...
