The Montessori Knobbed
Cylinders are designed to assist children in
making distinctions in their immediate environment. This material primarily
engages the senses of touch and sight.
Purpose:
Sensorial
includes materials that help kids take shape, sound, structure, look, and
colour. They have materials , e.g., cylinder blocks, which include 10 cylinders
with knobs, each chamber fitting into its individual mouth. Kids take these
cylinders out and get to work out how to move them back where they belong. This
process indirectly teaches children how to take the figure, problem solve, and
persevere to achieve goals. Text and Language play a major part in the
Montessori preschool. Rather than writing letters, kids examine their fingers
at sandpaper texts to look how each is shaped. Instead of narrating the
alphabet, they see the sounds each text does. With this way, some Montessori
kids make kindergarten proficient readers. Dr. Montessori planned sensorial
materials for the purpose of producing the person's five senses. These
materials include the cylinder blocks, the pink tower, the brown stairs, the
coloured poles, these colored cylinders and more. Also there is a host of
different materials used for the education and discovery actions of older kids.
High school teachers are normally required to produce their own materials.
This
is indeed true at Montessori! It is one reason why genuine Montessori
preschools make Montessori materials remain applied in conformity with their
specified use (e.g. , that knobless cylinders are intended for construction,
not for using as pretend trains) . It's also apparent in the fact that kids
revel at being shown how to do simple actions, , e.g., transporting beads with
a spoon, or rolling the pad, in a very precise manner. Also note that these
principles are obvious to the person himself: He wants no person to follow and
change him. There are others with the collection of knobbed cylinders and a
Pink tower with a couple of stops missing which run like playgroups but take
that name Montessori as the attraction to middle class parents. There are
others in remote parts, creating their own materials and mending past people at
the church room, where the life of Maria montessori's education shines like a
tower in everything they do. Density is the explanation. When the kids are
concentrating, you will see the pin drop.
