First edit

Edited this sentence: Please note that this page does not reflect the common use of this material by all philosophies of Montessori pedagogy.

To this sentence: Please note that this page does not intend to reflect the exact use of these materials, though it may do so. It is intended to provide information on what sensorial skill the materials are focused on learning and some ways it helps with that.

I tend to write a lot and am often clear in my head what I want to say, but it doesn't always come out perfectly. So please feel free to add and make edits. Ideally, I'd love it if someone would take the time to provide more information on exact use of the materials. It may be a good thing to add.

This is a starter article, so I hope to have it grow. Would be nice to see it with other areas of the classroom as well. MattThePuppetGuy (talk) 02:54, 30 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"10 cubic cm"

Very informative article. For the pink cubes, the article says, "The smallest cube is 1 cubic centimeter and the largest cube is 10 cubic centimeters." The pictures, however, appear to show the largest cube as 1000 cubic centimeters (10 cm cubed), which is not the same as "10 cubic centimeters." Similarly, for the brown stairs, the largest seems to have a width of 10 cm, or a cross-section of 100 square centimeters (10 cm squared), not "10 square centimeters" as the article says. --seberle (talk) 15:47, 23 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Did you fix it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.19.243.129 (talk) 15:06, 2 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No. I have no experience with these blocks. Perhaps I have misunderstood something or the photo is misleading? Someone who has actually seen the blocks should make the correction. --seberle (talk) 15:52, 2 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have used the blocks and you are correct. The smallest is 1 cm on each side and the largest is 10 cm on each side. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.170.241.163 (talk) 18:11, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

How many cylinder blocks?

The section titled "The cylinder blocks" contains the following:

There are four cylinder blocks.

and

The cylinder blocks are ten wooden cylinders of various dimensions...

Which is it? Four, or ten? I believe that in this case, the control of error is constituted in simple ability to count. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.191.166.202 (talk) 15:41, 17 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
