Did we miss something on diversity?
Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.

The parents' guide to what's in this app.
What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that Montessori Geometry teaches kids to recognize and name shapes -- including difficult shapes, like a scalene acute angled triangle -- in ways that will be engaging for kids as young as kindergarten up through elementary school grades. Through matching and seek-and-find games, vocabulary exercises, beautiful 3-D images, and more, Montessori Geometry introduces shapes to kids in ways that help them make connections between them and the real world, such as how shapes make up buildings, or how a square is related to a cube.
