 Children are able
to identify and describe common geometric shapes and forms (circle,
triangle, square, rectangle, cube, sphere, cone, cylinder) which they
learn through exposure to the Metal Insets, the Constructive Triangles,
the Geometric Cabinet, the Geometric Solids, rubber band geoboards,
tangrams and block play.
The children learn to compare familiar plane
and solid objects by identifying attributes (shape, size, roundness,
number of corners).
The concept of symmetry in art and in everyday
designs is introduced.
