    The document describes the Montessori red rods activity. The activity uses 10 wooden rods of increasing length from 10 cm to 1 meter. Children place the rods in order from shortest to longest to form a stair-like pattern. This helps develop visual and muscular perception of length as well as language skills. If a child struggles, the teacher can mix up the rods but leave them aligned along the edge of the mat to make it easier.

    MONTESSORI ACTIVITY: The Montessori Red Rods Montessori Sensorial Lesson Activity for Ages 3 to 6

    MONTESSORI MATERIALS:

    10 Red Wooden Rods all the same thickness but varying in length from one decimeter to one meter. Each rod increases in length by the length of the smallest rod. Work mat.

    MONTESSOR OBJECTIVES:

    To develop the childs visual and muscular perception of length. To develop the childs co-ordination of movement. To provide controlled experiences of seriation. To give the child basic language important in Maths. Co-ordination, Balance, Concentration.

    CONTROL OF ERROR:

    The rods will not be in a stair formation and the child may feel the irregularity. The child may see the irregular pattern. The smallest rod fits into each successive step.

    AGE: PRESENTATION:

    3 plus years.

    PRESENTATION:

    1. Individual exercise done on a floor mat. 2. Place a floor mat on the working space. 3. Show the child how to carry each rod to the mat one by one by holding each rod at the top with one hand and at the bottom with the other. This will give the child a muscular impression of length.He should hold the rods upright so that he does not bump into other children.The rods are randomly placed on the mat. 4. Show the child how to build the rods starting with the shortest rod. Align the rod with the edge of the mat. Using your middle and index finger lightly trace along the entire length of the rod. 5. Find the next longest rod. Bring it into position next to and above the previous rod and trace along its length again. Proceed with all the rods in this way until the stair is entirely built. 6. Pause and admire the stair and then mix up the rods and invite the child to try. 7. Should you see the child struggling, mix the rods up but align the mixed up rods along the edge of the mat. 8. Once the child has successfully built the stair, show him how to fit the shortest rod into each successive stair.

    Exercise 1:

    The child builds the red rods into a stair. Should the child battle with this exercise he can do: The 4 or 5 smallest rods

    A
    B C D The 5 largest rods. 5 successive rods from the middle Use every other rod.
