Montessori Geography materials
With the Geography Materials, the child is given the facts of his physical world – that it is a sphere, that this sphere is composed of land masses and bodies of water, that these have different forms and that these forms have names.
The child at this age is also in a sensitive period for order, and the Geography Materials provide him with the opportunity for exploring the many levels of order established through the ages as we perceived and classified our earth – the countries, provinces, states – each with their own particular shapes, intriguing names, their capitals and their flags.
