2. From objects to pictures,
from pictures to symbols,
from symbols to ideas,
leads the ladder of
knowledge." ~ Friedrich
Froebel

3. “Garden for children”
 Early- childhood education
method
Humans are creative
beings-freedom to think
freely
Play is the engine of real
learning

4. Keen observer of the
nature
Brain development is more
important in birth to three
play-based, child-centered,
holistic education, parent
involvement/training, use
of music, games, and
movement activities for
education 11/10/2015 4

8. Differentiate the pieces by
naming the geometric shapes.
Sort them. Count the number
of pieces or the number of
surfaces, edges, corners, etc.
Introduce the concepts of
on/under, front/back,
up/down, in front of/behind,
etc.

Forms of knowledge

9. Simple physics concepts can be
discovered. Some of the solids will
roll (sphere, cylinder) and some will
stand (cube, cylinder). The idea of
resonance in sound also can be
learned by tapping the solids
together or onto the table. By
exploring these properties, children
will be naturally curious and their
discoveries will create a foundation
of basic science.

11. Sorting, differentiation, counting,
arithmetic (addition, subtraction,
multiplication, division), fractions
(parts of whole), and
concepts/vocabulary (line, cube,
square, plus, equal, half, etc.) can
be reasoned with this Gift

13. The concept of fractions (and
vocabulary words half, quarter,
fourth, etc.) can be discovered, as
well as proportion. Introduce new
words like rectangle, oblong,
direction, vertical, horizontal,
height, width, length, etc.

15. New terms like angle, triangle,
diagonal, rectangular prism can
be introduced. Fractions and
other mathematical concepts can
be discovered and concepts of
geometric shapes, size/shape
differentiation, parts-of-the-whole
relationships, and others can be
further explored.

16. For older children, the Gift may
also be positioned to represent
more abstract mathematical
concepts such as the
Pythagorean Theorem (A2+B2=C2).

18. Continue a discussion of fractions.
Area and volume can be also be
reasoned. Scale, proportion and
modularity can be discovered by
having the child make as many
different squares as possible.

20. The variety of shapes and angles
make Gift 7 a natural tool for
expressing geometry. Concepts of
fractions, symmetry, opposites,
proportion, etc. can be discovered
by older children.. The tablet
shapes can be combined to form
a variety of geometric shapes,
including: Pentagon, Hexagon,
Heptagon, Octagon, Trapezoid,
Trapezium, Rhombus, Rhomboid

23. The sticks allow the child to
experience the ideas of
top/middle/bottom, right/left,
toward/away from,
vertical/horizontal, plus various
kinds of slants and angles. The
child may also use the sticks as a
unit of measure.

24. The rings allow the child to
discover whole/half, diameter,
inside/outside and the concept of
curve direction (or orientation).
