In order for your child to confidently navigate the outside world, he should be able to distinguish objects on various grounds, including on the form. From early childhood, surrounded by a lot of baby items. Some of them are the same shape, the other – different. In each age period the perception of children forms the subject has its own characteristics. Up to three years, children associated with a specific form attribute object. At the same kids perceive geometric figures as ordinary objects and give them the names of familiar objects for which these figures are similar. For example, a triangular prism are called roof house.
Up to three years, children are able to distinguish the sample only contrasting form of geometric shapes. At this age, children should be given the opportunity to perform different actions with the objects according to their form. It is necessary to offer kids a variety of games and exercises: “Rent a ball,” “Build a tower,” “Show me the same figure,” “Wonderful bag,” “Every figure – in his house.” Useful and fun for kids are playing with the details of construction and geometric design mosaic. In all these games, the child explores the geometric shapes tactile-motor way, building towers out of shape or to ride them, puts the figure at one another, put beside compares. Thus the child slowly learns the characteristics of geometric shapes. Children start wondering what the name of one or another figure.
Therefore, the adults in the course of these games should gently be called “names” of geometric shapes. To this end, the first stage should be used as usual for the children the names of objects (eg, “egg”) and common geometric terms (“ovaloid”). Moreover, the usual name must be “invented” by the child rather than imposed upon him adults. Children do not need to repeat the geometric terms for adults.
