Lower Elementary students have been hands-on with geometry this week, using movement and Montessori materials to explore lines, angles, and polygons!
First Grade: Lines in Motion
First graders are discovering horizontal, vertical, and oblique lines with the Box of Sticks—and even using their own bodies to form them! This interactive approach helps solidify their understanding of these fundamental concepts.
Second Grade: Measuring Angles
Second graders are mastering the Montessori Protractor, measuring, and adding angles together. Some even challenged themselves by combining more than two angles at a time, deepening their grasp of geometry through exploration.
Third Grade: Building Polygons
Third graders are constructing polygons with the Box of Sticks, reinforcing their knowledge of sides, vertices, angles, region, perimeter, and more! This hands-on activity helps bring geometric concepts to life in a meaningful way.
By engaging in active, tactile learning, students are building a strong foundation in geometry—one that fosters curiosity, confidence, and deeper understanding. We’re excited to see where their discoveries take them next!
