Geometrical Solids are three-dimensional (3D) shapes that are an essential part of Montessori education. These shapes help children understand the concept of three-dimensional geometry, as well as develop their spatial awareness, visualization skills, and mathematical vocabulary. By exploring geometric solids, children can better grasp abstract geometric concepts in a concrete and hands-on manner.
In Montessori education, Geometrical Solids are typically introduced as part of the sensorial or mathematics curriculum, allowing children to explore the shapes through their senses of touch and sight.
