Geometric Solids (presentation two)

How is the second presentation with the Geometric Solids presented?

In this presentation, the directress introduces the bases of the Geometric Solids to the child. Each Geometric Solid has a matching base in order for the child to connect the plane shapes to their solid shapes. In this activity, the child is encouraged to match the Geometric Solids with their respective bases. The directress begins by introducing the bases to the child and lays them all out randomly on the floor mat. She then picks up one of the solids, she takes her time to find the matching base for it to be placed on. Once she has matched all of the solids to their bases, she invites the child to have a turn.

Matching the Geometric Solids to their respective bases

What does the child learn by matching the Geometric Solids to their bases?

The child acquires further practice in matching and his knowledge regarding the Geometric Solids broadens. This activity prepares the child for Geometry and Mathematics as well as the child will notice more and more Geometric Solids in his everyday life.
