Sensorial

The sensorial equipment offers the child the chance to experience his world through his senses. Students learn to discriminate by sight, touch, smell, sound and taste.  Once students have experienced these materials on a sensorial level they learn to communicate their experiences and apply them to the world at large.

Characteristics of sensorial materials:

• Isolate one sensory experience at a time
• Refine pincer grip
• Materials are base ten which prepares for math
• All materials follow the sequence of matching, grading, language and games
• Indirect preparation for geometry

Ideas for home:

• Offer precise language
• Allow your child to explore their world through taste, touch, sight, sound and smell
