Play Gifts and Manipulatives
In this phase, I created this toy by following Maria Montessori's philosophy which is
'THE CONSTRUCTIVE TRIANGLE'
That the design of Maria Montessori School based on.
The objective of this game achieves the purpose of this philosophy by allowing
the kids to explore and experiment with geometry and form by using three types of triangle
to create a new shape and pattern.
The triangles which is Equilateral triangle, Right triangle, Isosceles triangle each side
of them are attached by a velcro in order to connect with each others.
The velcro is is flexible and strong enough to connect the triangles even at the side
attaching or flipping back.
The possibilities that can be made with these triangles
According to the education philosophy in the school, Maria Montessori
divided kids into 3 ranges of ages and study in the classroom as a mixed classroom.
This toy have a different way to play for the different players.
For 0-6 years : Let’s the children freely attach each triangle together to create new form and pattern.
The kids can learn how to create other geometric shapes from triangles and learn to
match the same length of each side of triangle.
For 6-12 years : turn to the back side of triangles you will found that all the
triangles are grey and there will have a color line to be a hint for the kids to attach
the same color together to create a pattern . There is a few rules for the older kids
RULES
2. The same type of equilateral triangle
cann’t be placed nearby each other.
3. The red line and yellow line
cann’t be connected together.
From all of these to challenges the kids
and let they learn to think one step beyond
to plan how to place the triangles by not let the same triangle connect together.
