We are thrilled to introduce you to a revolutionary tool that can transform your classroom and amplify the Montessori learning experience—Superspace. These life-sized, magnetic panels are the perfect medium for hands-on learning, fostering creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking among your students. Designed to align seamlessly with Montessori principles of exploration and discovery, Superspace opens up a world of endless possibilities through open-ended play.
Why Superspace?
Engagement through Open-Ended Play:
Superspace captivate students' imaginations, encouraging them to build, design, and create without limitations. The tactile nature of Superspace invites children to explore spatial relationships and architectural concepts in a tangible way.
Open-ended play with Superspace stimulates curiosity and enthusiasm, making learning an enjoyable adventure every day.
Expands Montessori Educational Principles:
Hands-On Learning: Superspace promotes experiential learning, allowing students to learn by doing—a core principle of Montessori education.
Development of Key Skills:
Children enhance a wide range of developmental skills, including problem-solving, fine motor skills, sensorial exploration, spatial awareness, and critical thinking.
Independence and Self-Directed Exploration:
The open-ended nature of the tiles empowers students to engage in self-directed learning, fostering independence and confidence.
Collaboration and Community Building:
Working together on building projects encourages cooperative learning, social interaction, and communication, essential skills in the Montessori method.
Activities & Inspiration
Creative Storytelling and Imaginative Play:
Transform your classroom into a world of imagination. Students can use the tiles for open-ended play, building settings for their stories—castles, forests, space stations, or any landscape they envision. They can then weave narratives around their creations, fostering language development, creativity, and social interaction. This not only enhances their storytelling abilities but also boosts their confidence in expressing ideas.
Nature-Inspired Designs for Cosmic Education:
Integrate environmental education by having students build models of natural habitats, ecosystems, or the solar system. This aligns with the Montessori concept of Cosmic Education, helping children understand their place in the universe and fostering a deeper connection with nature.
Building Geometric Shapes for Sensorial Exploration:
Encourage students to explore geometry by constructing various two-dimensional and three-dimensional shapes. They can build cubes, pyramids, prisms, and more, helping them understand geometric concepts through hands-on manipulation. This activity enhances spatial reasoning and supports mathematical understanding, making abstract concepts concrete.
Engineering Challenges to Foster Problem-Solving:
Bridge Building: Task students with designing and constructing a bridge that spans a certain distance and can hold a specific weight. This promotes problem-solving, critical thinking, and an understanding of basic engineering principles.
Tallest Tower: Encourage students to build the tallest tower possible using a limited number of tiles, promoting strategic planning and concentration.
Functional Structures: Have them design structures with specific purposes, integrating practical life skills into their designs.
Cultural Studies and Global Awareness:
Use Superspace to construct models of historical landmarks or structures from different cultures. This supports cultural awareness, diversity, and enriches lessons in geography and history.
