Description
The Genius of Geometry contains:
• Materials-based lessons on Area, Surface Area, and Volume
• Lessons addressing standards like symmetry, congruence, similarity, and equivalence
• Printable step-by-step instructions for constructions (strongly encouraged by Maria Montessori) complete with thumbnail sketches showing each step to foster children’s independent work after initial experiences.
• Lessons to review (NOT reteach) key attributes that define and name 1-, 2-, and 3-dimensional figures
• Well-paced follow-up activities for each lesson honoring the child’s stage of learning as defined by Montessori (Sensorial, Mathematical, and Formulaic Reasoning)
Everything is intentionally designed to engage children’s active participation and reasoning during and after lessons.
This fourth edition even includes print-ready tickets for lessons and follow-up activities!

Here’s what other Montessorians have said about The Genius of Geometry:
The Genius of Geometry is thorough, rigorous and based on the timeless Montessori principles for math: discovery and self-guidance. As a Montessori public teacher who is often under pressure to meet the needs of standardized testing, I'm grateful for an album that stays true to the Montessori philosophy while addressing common core standards. A must-have! The Genius of Geometry is brilliantly written and awe-inspiring. The presentations provide essential sensorial experiences before applying concepts. My students look forward to geometry lessons!
