The Montessori Approach to Geometry
As with most lessons in a Montessori classroom, geometry begins with the spark of the imagination. Through story, students are told a wondrous tale about “geometry being one of the oldest studies in human existence. The beginnings of geometry can be traced back to ancient Egypt, from around 3000 BC. Since geo means “earth” and metria means “measure”, early geometry was all about measuring the earth to determine boundaries of ownership” (Bourne, 2010).
