Rediscover hands-on learning with a complete guide to using kindergarten materials in primary education, for clearer thinking and lasting skills.
In this practical volume, teachers explore how tangible, hands-on activities can deepen young students’ understanding. It argues that working with real objects—like squares, circles, and geometric models—builds concepts more effectively than words alone, and it shows how to integrate these ideas into a full course of study.
From shaping ideas with clay and paper to cutting and assembling card-board projects, the book presents a concrete approach to geometry, drawing, coloring, arithmetic, and early science. It also explains how social interaction, history, and direction of study support a child’s growth, making learning active, joyful, and meaningful in the classroom.
- Hands-on methods that connect perception to concept formation
- Step-by-step activities in geometry, construction, and form drawing
- Guidance on organizing a cohesive, early education program
- Model lessons and material ideas for primary classrooms
Ideal for teachers seeking practical, material-based approaches in early education, and for those looking to enrich the learning experiences of young students.
