Roman Arch

Arche romaine

This block set allows children to use and learn Roman engineering principles to build an arch that seemingly defies gravity. A excellent introduction to architecture and gravity, which also teaches following instructions and problem solving. The set includes fixed sides and a support structure to enable the arch to be built.

Instructions: Build the arch using the support structure.
 Then add the building bricks to put weight onto the arch.
 Remove the support structure once the arch is complete. 


Gettman explains how this equipment is used in Basic Montessori.

Encorages children to ask questions about why things happen and how things work.

ELG: Understanding The World: children know about similarities and differences in relation to places, objects, materials and living things. They talk about the features of their own immediate environment and how environments might vary from one another. They make observations of animals and plants and explain why some things occur, and talk about changes.
