Developing Sensorial with Brown Stairs

Montessori students are learning the variations between object sizes with the "brown stairs" exercise.

Children build the staircase from largest to shortest prism, focusing on their differences in two dimensions: width and height, as the length of each piece is the same.

This is a sensorial exercise, that develops awareness, perception, and feel of different sizes.
