Lesson 4
Pink Tower
Pink Tower involves stacking ten cubes in descending size order, developing children's visual perception. This exercise enhances their understanding of dimensions, spatial relationships, and sequencing, while promoting concentration, coordination, and careful observation.
Lesson 5
Broad Stairs
Broad stairs involves arranging ten prisms from thick to thin, enhancing children's understanding of size and dimension. It promotes careful observation and children explore gradation and order.
Lesson 6
Long Rods
Long Rods involves arranging ten rods in order of length, from shortest to longest. This exercise enhances children's visual discrimination and understanding of length, promoting spatial awareness and a sense of order.
Lesson 7
Knobless Cylinders 1
Knobless Cylinders involves sorting set of cylinders varying in size dimensions. This activity refines children's visual perception, promoting an understanding of gradation, size, and dimension. This yellow set decreases in both diameter and height.
Lesson 8
Knobless Cylinders 2
Knobless Cylinders involves sorting set of cylinders varying in size dimensions. This activity refines children's visual perception, promoting an understanding of gradation, size, and dimension. This green set decreases in diameter and increases in height.
Lesson 9
Knobless Cylinders 3
Knobless Cylinders involves sorting set of cylinders varying in size dimensions. This activity refines children's visual perception, promoting an understanding of gradation, size, and dimension. This red set decreases in diameter, while the height stays constant.
Lesson 10
Knobless Cylinders 4
Knobless Cylinders involves sorting set of cylinders varying in size dimensions. This activity refines children's visual perception, promoting an understanding of gradation, size, and dimension. This blue set decreases in height, while diameter stays constant.

Week 6
Lesson 15
Tasting Bottles
Tasting Bottles involves sampling and identifying different flavors from a set of bottles. This exercise enhances children’s gustatory discrimination and sensory awareness. By exploring a range of tastes, children refine their ability to distinguish flavors, build descriptive language skills, and develop a greater appreciation for diverse sensory experiences.

Week 7
Lesson 16
Geometric Cabinet: Demonstration Tray
Geometric Cabinet Demonstration Tray showcases various geometric shapes, offering a hands-on exploration of shapes and their properties. This activity enhances children's spatial awareness and shape recognition. This set introduces the vocabulary and characteristics of circle, square, and triangle.
Lesson 17
Geometric Cabinet: Drawer 1
This set introduces the vocabulary and characteristics of circles.
Lesson 18
Geometric Cabinet: Drawer 2
This set introduces the vocabulary and characteristics of rectangles.
Lesson 19
Geometric Cabinet: Drawer 3
This set introduces the vocabulary and characteristics of triangles.
Lesson 20
Mystery Bag
Mystery Bag invites children to identify hidden objects by touch alone. This sensory exploration enhances tactile discrimination, vocabulary development, and concentration. As children reach into the bag and describe what they feel, they refine their ability to recognize textures and shapes, fostering curiosity and sensory awareness.
Week 8
Lesson 21
Geometric Solids
Children explore geometric solids to develop their spatial awareness and tactile perception. By handling the various shapes like spheres, cubes, and cylinders, they enhance their understanding of three-dimensional forms and build foundational geometry skills through hands-on, sensory experiences.
Lesson 22
Geometric Solids: Exercise 1
Children compare geometric solids based on their rolling behavior across a mat. They observe which shapes roll and which do not, then classify the solids into groups based on their movement. This activity enhances their understanding of shape properties and spatial relationships through active exploration.
Lesson 23
Geometric Solids: Exercise 2
Children learn the names and attributes of geometric solids. They handle and explore each solid, becoming familiar with their unique shapes and names. This hands-on experience enhances their vocabulary and understanding of three-dimensional forms through tactile exploration.
Lesson 24
Geometric Solids: Exercise 3
Children match geometric solids to their corresponding base shapes. By pairing each solid with its flat base, they develop an understanding of spatial relationships and the properties of each solid. This activity fosters recognition of geometric shapes and enhances spatial awareness.
