Description :-
The Tessellation Box is a Montessori sensorial material designed to help children explore the
concept of tessellation—the art of covering a surface using shapes that fit together without gaps or
overlaps. The set consists of 22 boxes, which contain 19 different shapes. The shapes are made of
durable plastic boards to withstand repeated use and are organized into 10 plastic boxes, with each
containing pairs of geometric shapes.
This exercise challenges the child to use these geometric shapes to create tessellations, which are
repeating patterns that cover a surface. The shapes in the set vary in form, including triangles,
squares, and other polygons, giving the child ample opportunity to experiment with different
arrangements and designs. The exercise emphasizes geometry, symmetry, and mathematical
thinking, while also encouraging creativity in design.
Tessellation Box
The goal of the Tessellation Box is to foster the child’s creative ability and develop their skills in
both design and mathematical thinking. The exercise supports:- Understanding geometry through exploration of shapes, patterns, and symmetry.
- Creative design skills, whether for art, interior or exterior design, and pattern-making.
- Mathematical thinking, particularly in terms of spatial awareness, symmetry, and
tessellation patterns.
