Psychogeometry
Maria Montessori's Psychogeometry in hard cover, volume sixteen of The Montessori Series, 233 pages, 2011 edition, prepared from her Italian manuscript and the 1934 Spanish edition. It sets out her approach to teaching mathematics through geometry, and reading it is the clearest way to see that the geometry material is not a set of activities somebody assembled but the working out of one person's own mathematical thinking. Paper and cardboard.
How to present it
Create a quiet reading space with geometric materials nearby for reference. Have paper and pencil ready for sketching concepts from the text.

Frequently Asked Questions
What topics does Psychogeometry cover?
This book explores how children naturally develop geometric understanding through sensorial experiences, covering the foundations of geometry education including shapes, spatial relationships, and the connection between concrete materials and abstract mathematical concepts in the Montessori method.
Is this book suitable for parents or only trained Montessori teachers?
While written as a professional reference for Montessori educators, dedicated parents can benefit from understanding Dr. Montessori's approach to geometry education. However, it contains theoretical content that assumes some familiarity with Montessori principles and terminology.
How does this book relate to practical classroom activities?
Psychogeometry provides the theoretical foundation for using Montessori geometry materials like the geometric solids, constructive triangles, and metal insets. It explains why these materials are designed as they are and how they support the child's mathematical development.
What age group of children does this book address?
The book focuses on geometry education for children ages 3-6, corresponding to the Montessori Casa dei Bambini (Children's House) level, though the principles extend to elementary education as children develop more abstract geometric thinking.
Is this an original work by Maria Montessori?
Yes, this is Dr. Maria Montessori's original work on geometry education, part of her comprehensive educational philosophy. As Volume 16 in The Montessori Series, it represents her authentic teachings on how children develop geometric understanding.
