Related Exercises

The child in his natural environment has come across various items such as ice creams, cold drink, hot cup of milk, soup etc., which is his primary exposure to this concept. When the child is working with the Montessori specified materials for temperature, he puts his random stimulus (from natural environment) in order to organise his understanding in an orderly manner according to the different grades of temperature.

The child’s imagination is enhanced through the concrete exposure to the material. The child now can imagine the temperature of different items in his living environment.
