Peek In Our Week:

She is working on the Knobbed Cylinders found in the Sensorial area. The purpose of Montessori knobbed cylinders is to help children develop their visual discrimination skills and fine motor skills, particularly their pincer grip. They also introduce early mathematical concepts like size comparison and sequencing. The cylinders, with their knobs for easier handling, are designed to be used by children to match specific cylinder sizes and shapes with matching holes in a block.

He is working on the Color Bead Bars with Symbols found in the Math area. Montessori bead bars and symbols are used in mathematics lessons to help children grasp number concepts, operations, and place value in a concrete way. Each bead bar represents a specific number, and the beads are color-coded to associate the quantity with a particular color.

He is working on the Knobless Cylinders found in the Sensorial area. The purpose of this Montessori Sensorial material is to help refine a kid’s visual discrimination, specifically that of diameter and height. You can also use it to develop your child’s fine motor movements and hand-eye coordination.

She is working on the Memory Game found in the Math area. Montessori memory games, like matching card games, aim to enhance memory, attention, and concentration in children. They also help develop visual memory, short-term memory, and pattern recognition skills. By identifying matching pairs, children improve their focus, attention to detail, and ability to recognize similarities and differences.
