    The document describes the Montessori Broad Stair activity. The activity uses 10 wooden prisms of increasing height, breadth and length. Children ages 2.5-3 years arrange the prisms from largest to smallest to form a stair. This helps develop visual perception of dimension, coordination, and language skills. The child builds the stair independently and can check their work by running their hands along it.

    Work mat. MONTESSORI ACTIVITY OBJECTIVES: To develop the childs visual perception of dimension.To develop the childs co-ordination of movement.To provide experiences of seriation by showing the relationships between prisms. To give the child basic language important in Maths. Gross motor movements Concentration CONTROL OF ERROR: AGE: PRESENTATION: When the child feels the stair he may realise there is a prism out of sequence. 2 3 years approx. Individual exercise done on a floor mat. 1. Place a floor mat on the working space. 2. Show the child how to carry each prism to the mat by supporting the bottom of the prism with the left hand held just below the prism and with the right hand held stretched over the breadth of each prism. This will give the child a muscular impression of size. 3. The prisms

    are randomly placed on the mat. Show the child how to build the stair starting with the largest prism first. Align the long side of the first prism with the top end of the mat and ensure that the prisms are built using the length of the mat as a guide. 4. Each prism is placed a little distance from the previous prism and then using both hands, push up each prism to meet the previous prism. Every so often run your hands along the sides of the built prisms to ensure that they are all in line. 5. Mix up the prisms gently and quietly and invite the child to build the stair. 6. Show him how to feel that the stair has been correctly built by running his hand down the stair, but also show him how to fit the smallest prism into each successive stair.

    Should the child battle with this exercise he can do: The 4 or 5 smallest prisms

    A
    B C D The 5 largest prisms 5 successive prisms from the middle Use every other prisms

    Game 1

    The child may use the Pink Tower and Broad Stair together and discover the relationship between them. He may discover various differences and similarities.Give the child appropriate language as he makes his discoveries.
