Many of the out-of-school experiences young children have deal with geometrical concepts and understandings. Thus children have an intuitive feeling for much of the geometry content introduced in the lower elementary grades. The “geometry tile” described in this article can be used to develop and extend these beginning concepts. Through the use of handson materials like these tiles, children are better able to visualize geometric shapes and to communicate the involved spatial relationships. They are also able to begin dealing with measurement in a very concrete manner.
