Exploring Geometry

Montessori, following a tradition that starts with at least Rousseau, believed that children come to understand the world through their senses.

Experience, says Montessori, is the foundation of knowledge. As she explains, to learn, an emphasis must be placed on the process of learning, as opposed to the product. Watch as this three year old engages with the geometry cabinet. Watch her careful, deliberate movements, as she explores.
