Detailed description:

PLEASE NOTE!
When delivered, our products are neither cut nor laminated. The accessories, like perspex boxes, file caskets and so on, that are sometimes shown in the catalog, were only taken to demonstrate a possible use of our items. They are not part of the item itself and not included.

Recommended Age (s):

4-13 years (this material goes beyond what is taught in schools)

Preparing the material:
All of the cards are meant to be laminated (recommended laminate thickness: 90-125 micron).
First trim the edges of the laminated card, then cut exactly down the middle to obtain 2 A5 cards.
Sides not to be laminated: none
Sides or cards to be bound into a booklet: none

Teaching content:
The children can become familiar with working with triangles, rectangles and squares, as well as other geometric shapes. They can also learn more about terms such as 'diagonal', 'mediator', 'altitude', 'congruent', 'similar', and 'equivalent'.

Possible Applications:
The material can be given to children aged 9 and above as a free time exercise. Experience with geometric shapes is required.
The material requires concentration and is therefore recommended for individual, or perhaps pair work only.

Before you begin:
To work with this material, the children require:
a desk (a floor mat is less suitable), the Montessori material 'Dividing Squares and Triangles' (possibly also the two long, wooden stands for displaying material), square sheets of paper, an exercise book, a ruler, glue, scissors and stationery with which to write. Ideally the paper should be 10 x 10cm, as this is the size of the metal figures. Templates for working with this material are available at www. lernmaterial.at !

How to use:
This material is very clear and easy to work with. The material leads the child through each exercise. The children can follow the instructions on the cards and then note down their work later.

Control of Error:

Additional information:
Some children just love to work through cards, do drawings and create their own little booklets. But some don't.
This material has a relatively clear structure, and this allows the children to work through it in stages, which can be spread out over a number of free time hours. The many small tasks in the material allow the children to take regular breaks then continue at a later time.
The material for the two shapes should be stored in separate boxes.
This material has been very effective in many classes with children as young as 7 years as a free time activity.
