WA 6-12yrs Geometry (4 days)
‘That which we are about to describe is not an elementary, systematic study of geometry. We only offer the means to prepare the mind for systematic study… discovering a relationship oneself, formulating a theorem and possessing the words to describe it correctly, is truly something able to fire the imagination.’
Maria Montessori. Psychogeometry, 2011. Chapter “Introduction to the Elementary Period,” p. 55
This interactive workshop is invaluable for anyone working in Montessori educational environments and wanting to use the Montessori approach and materials.
