The Geometric Stick Material is a study tool that helps children learn geometry through lines, angles, and shapes. It comes in a timber box for easy organization. The Geometric Stick Material is designed to support the child in their study of geometry with specific focus on lines, measurement of angles, and the construction and analysis of plane geometric shapes.\r\n\r\nThe set is contained in a quality timber box with lid specifically designed to store the parts of the material in a neat and organised manner.\r\n\r\nThe parts of the material include:-\r\nColor-coded sticks,\r\nPlastic curves,\r\nPlastic measuring angle,\r\nPlumb line,\r\nTacks and fasteners.\r\n\r\nPackage Size and Weight: 43cm x 30cm x 4.5cm, 1.44kg\r\nThis is an Authentic Genuine Montessori material, it is a teaching aid, not a \"Montessori toy\".\r\n\u003ch2\u003eRecommended Age Range\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\nTypically introduced between 3–6 years for foundational numeracy; extended use in 6–12 for advanced concepts.\r\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Learning Outcomes\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eConcrete understanding of quantity and symbol.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eIntroduction to place value, operations, and sequencing.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eIndirect preparation for arithmetic, algebra, and geometry.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003ch2\u003ePurpose of the Material\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\nTo offer children a tangible experience of mathematical concepts, moving from hands-on work to abstraction.\r\n\u003ch2\u003eHow It’s Used\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\n\u003col\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eIntroduce the material with a clear, focused demonstration.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eGuide the child to explore step by step.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eEncourage repetition to build confidence and internalisation.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eExtend to operations or variations when ready.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\r\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to Present the Activity\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\n\u003col\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eInvite the child to work with you.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eDemonstrate carefully and slowly, naming each step.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eIsolate one difficulty at a time.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eOffer the work to the child and observe quietly.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\r\n\u003ch2\u003eExtensions\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eIntroduce related maths materials for deeper exploration.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eCombine with language lessons for integrated learning.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eEncourage games that apply the concept in daily life.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003ch2\u003eTips for Home Use\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eUse consistent language for mathematical concepts.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eAllow repetition without correction.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eMake maths concrete with daily objects (measuring, cooking, counting).\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003ch2\u003eMaterial \u0026amp; Safety Information\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\nAlways exercise extreme caution and care, never leave a child unattended and without adequate supervision with any of the equipment or material advertised on our website and catalogue.
