Description
The Geometric Stick Material is used in the elementary classroom for the study of lines, the measurement of angles, and the construction and analysis of plane geometric shapes. Consists of a series of color-coded sticks, plastic curves, a plastic measuring angle, a plumb line, tacks and brad fasteners, all stored in a compartmentalized wooden box with lid.
Using the Geometric Stick Material and cork working board, the 6-9 environment discovers the properties of what they explored in the sensorial (3 to 6) environments.
This material allows the Child to visualize how to construct, manipulate and measure angles and lines.
The material consists of a series of
- color-coded sticks,
- plastic curves,
- plastic measuring angle,
- plumb line,
- tacks
- brad fasteners,
All the geometric stick materials are stored in a wooden box.
Further Reading and Resources
“After the child has explored forms and shapes, invite them to understand figures and their details. These nomenclature cards comprise much of the 6-9 geometry curriculum.
Additional materials include the geometry stick box and command cards. The child is learning the different parts and types of lines, angles, triangles, and other shapes.” The Shape of Geometry by Montessori for Everyone
