Product Description
Material Overview
The Control Cards for Cylinder Blocks are a complementary sensorial material used alongside the four traditional cylinder block sets. These cards provide a visual representation of each block sequence, allowing the child to verify work independently through comparison and observation.
Purpose and Use
After completing work with the cylinder blocks, the child uses the control cards to check accuracy by matching the cylinders to their corresponding visual images. This supports independent control of error without adult intervention, reinforcing confidence and self-correction.
Learning Benefits
- Refines visual discrimination of size, height, and diameter
- Strengthens the child’s ability to self-correct
- Encourages independence and concentration
- Supports orderly thinking and precise observation
- Prepares the child for later abstract classification work
Design and Quality
The cards feature clear, proportionally accurate illustrations corresponding to each cylinder block set. The neutral presentation supports focused visual comparison without distraction, aligning with Montessori sensorial principles.
What Is Included
- Control cards for all four cylinder block sets
- Printed cards with clear visual sequencing
Recommended Age
Suitable for children aged 3 years and above, following introduction to the cylinder blocks.
Classroom Use
