Geometric Cabinet
Price
The Geometric Cabinet is an essential Montessori material designed to introduce children to the foundational concepts of geometry while fostering child development in visual discrimination, fine motor skills, and logical thinking. Found in many Montessori schools, this material consists of a wooden cabinet with six drawers, each containing a set of inset geometric shapes like circles, squares, triangles, polygons, and more, in inset forms along with corresponding frames.
The Montessori directress presents the geometric cabinet, demonstrating how to handle and trace the insets and frames, emphasizing the precise movement of fingers to build familiarity with the shapes. Children are invited to explore the Geometric Cabinet independently, refining their ability to recognize and categorize shapes, which lays the groundwork for more advanced mathematical concepts.
This material reflects the Montessori philosophy by encouraging hands-on exploration and active engagement, fostering curiosity and self-directed learning.
