Stick Material

The Montessori Stick Material is an advanced geometric exploration set designed to help children understand, construct, and analyse a wide range of geometric shapes. Housed in a beautifully polished and partitioned wooden box, the material includes sticks of varying lengths, circles, arcs, plumb-lines, fasteners, and additional accessories used to assemble accurate geometric models on a working board.

Children can build shapes such as right-angled triangles, polygons, quadrilaterals, arcs, and composite geometric figures, enabling them to visually grasp geometric relationships. This hands-on approach makes abstract geometry concepts concrete—supporting the Montessori principle of learning through manipulation and discovery.

The material is widely used in Montessori Elementary classrooms to introduce foundational geometry concepts, angle study, measurement, classification of shapes, and the relationships between sides and angles.
