The scientific pedagogy of Maria Montessori informed a revolution in education that continues today, 100 years later. Montessori schools focus on hands-on learning with specifically designed materials that allow students to understand the world through methodical and self-directed work. According to Montessori, play is work and the explorations of children are what ultimately lead to learning and understanding. As with all things Montessori, students begin with the concrete and move to the abstract. When learning shapes, students first develop an understanding of the spatial object, the comparison between shapes and a relevant application for each shape before learning the names. Inspired by this process and the associated classroom materials (trays of various shapes, grouped by family), Montessori: Shape Work will offer readers die-cut shapes to trace with their fingers, grouped by family for comparison, and illustrated into a familiar object for relevancy. Featured shapes: 3 triangles (equilateral, isosceles, right); 3 rounds (circle, oval, ellipse); 3 parallelograms (square, rectangle, rhombus); 3 polygons (pentagon, hexagon, octagon).

Look for all the shapes that Dog discovers during his day. He gets out of bed first thing in the morning - a bed that contains one square blue cushion and one circular red cushion, both of them equally comfortable. During a trip to the beach, Dog sees the triangular white sails of the boats on the water. How many can you spot? When his owner Vicky gets rid of the sand from his fur with a purple oval brush, Dog's leg twitches and his tail wags with pleasure! Later, he jumps over a wall of rectangular bricks while following his friend Frog. Finally, it is time to return to bed, where Dog falls asleep under the bright stars and crescent moon in the night sky. With appealing images to look at and talk about, this book is a wonderful aid to learning that little ones will want to return to again and again. It is built to last, with sturdy board pages that will stand up to repeated use.
