Who was Maria Montessori?

Maria Montessori (Chiaravalle, 1870 – Noordwijk, 1952) was a psychiatrist and pedagogue, known for the educational method that bears her name. At the age of 26, Montessori became the first Italian woman to be a doctor. From his work in psychiatry, his activity was approaching pedagogy. He left Italy fleeing fascism and spent time in Catalonia, until he left for the Netherlands in 1936.

His pedagogical method is based on encouraging the spontaneity of the child, giving him freedom to develop within an environment and with specially prepared materials, to promote his self-development.

Today his ideas are considered fundamental and are used around the world.

Some modules in this room

La boca, ull, nas i cabells es dupliquen pel mirall i es creen diferents cares. 

 

Vertical mirror accompanied by capital letters cut by one of its symmetry axes. View the different letters and symmetry axes.

Els pals de colors tenen diferents quantitats de diverses figures geomètriques, partides en dos. Es tracta de fer les parelles corresponents.

Series

Colored cubes to follow patterns. Different challenges can be asked with growing difficulties and work with the idea of multiple numbers.

We will have to place the pieces of three colors on the board, so that they do not overlap and cover all the holes.

Color magnetized fish that tiles the plane, allow to work the creation of patterns and sequences.

Quatre cubs amb cares de diferents colors. Podem posar-los iguals?
