Montessori Community Meeting on Geometry
Montessori community gathering on measurement and geometry for children in grades 2–5 and their parents, on Sunday, December 6, 2026, at the community house in Bat Yam. The children will practice measuring.
The volunteer team of the Bat Yam Montessori Community, in collaboration with the Community Department of the Bat Yam Municipality,
invites parents and children in grades 2–5 to a community gathering on geometry from a Montessori perspective: The Story of Measuring Length.
In geometry, we introduce the topic of measurement through the Montessori story of measuring length, which invites us on a journey back in time. The story takes us to a period when there were no standardized measuring tools, and people exchanged goods and wanted to ensure that trade was fair. But how can we know the length of a piece of fabric, for example, when there is no ruler or measuring tape? From this question, we will set out together to discover the need for shared units of length.
We will begin the gathering with a story, after which the children will experiment with measuring using their bodies and discover what happens when each person measures in a slightly different way. Then we will become familiar with standard units of measurement and use them to measure the sides and perimeters of various polygons and objects. Through the story and hands-on experience, we will connect geometry to everyday life and discover how measurement allows us to describe, compare, and understand the world around us.
The gathering will be led by Tzlil Ben Baruch, who holds a teaching certificate in Montessori education for ages 6–12 from the international AMI organization. She is an educator for ages 6–9 and 9–12, a multidisciplinary teacher, and a science-subject coordinator for 11 years at the “Derech HaYeled” Montessori School in Kfar HaYarok.
Sunday, 6.12, 9:00–10:30, at the Community House, 50 HaHashmonaim Street, Bat Yam
