21st Century Froebel

Welcome to the 21st Century Froebel blog!
I welcome your responses to these thoughts on art, math, learning, and Froebel.

"You may give them your love,
but not your thoughts.
For they have their own thoughts.

I love working with 100% of an element. With the cubes and tablets, using 100% is original to Froebel.  It is a design constraint that feels so calming to me. Over time,  I've come to see a correlation between Froebel's rule of using all the available parts and the modern Montessori emotional-education tag-line, "including everyone in the community".

This is 100% of the 1" black sticks - just enough to fit in the palm of the hand.



Logical and mathematical thinking developed slowly in the human race. The Conservation Test is an assessment which demonstrates some of the steps children take in moving from perceptual judgement of quantity to mathematical thinking.

For Goose, I challenged myself to use only the Box 8S pieces ( I had to put the 7's out of reach, because I kept finding them in my hand! I allowed one Box 9 point to be the eye). Then I duplicated my construction on art paper  by tracing some blocks, then when that was slow, I switched to a clear ruler. Using the ruler gave me the idea to add the dotted and straight lines. After making the drawing in pencil, I went over it with colored pencil.

Math analysis for Goose: how many 6" lines, how many 5", etc.  I haven't done the math yet, because we had a party.
