    Exercises of Broad Stairs

    Uploaded by

    This document describes an exercise called the Broad Stairs that uses 10 wooden prisms of varying widths and heights to enhance a child's ability to discriminate differences in dimensions. The prisms range from 1 to 10 centimeters in width and height, corresponding to the numbers 1 through 10. Placing the prisms in order from narrowest to broadest helps develop hand-eye coordination and indirectly prepares the child for mathematics concepts. Errors are self-corrected through sight and touch. The exercise is intended for children ages 2 1/2 to 4 years old.

    The broad stairs
    Exercise No 3: The Broad Stairs
    • Material: this material consist of ten brown
    wooden prism. All the prisms have the same
    length( i.e. 20 cm) but vary in height and width
    from 1 centimeters. Thus , the dimensions are as
    follow;
    • Prism 1: Length 20cm,width 1cm, height 1cm
    • Prism 2: Length 20cm,width 2cm , height 2cm
    • Prism 3: length 20cm, width 3cm, height 3cm
    • Prism 10: Length 20cm, width 10cm, height 10cm
    • This way the width and height sides represent
    squares of the numbers through one to ten.
    The Broad Stairs
    • Direct Aim: further enhancement of the ability
    to discriminate between differences in
    dimensions by providing a material which
    varies in only two dimensions rather than all
    the three.
    • Indirect Aim:
    1. development of hand and eyes coordination
    and perfection for movement.
    2. Indirect preparation for mathematics.
    The Broad Stairs
    • Control of Error:
    • The child can usually see his mistakes.
    • Feeling down the stairs make him aware of any
    irregularities.
    • Vocabulary:
    • Prism
    • Broad – Narrow
    • Broad – Broader – Broadest
