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.
Kahlil Gibran

Infinite Simplicity​

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.

I started using the blocks right after Christmas, 2016. I knew I needed to build on a grid, and I knew the grid that came with the set was too small.
