The Sensorial materials isolate a particular quality and refine the sense-perceptual skills. These are materialized abstractions which give the child concrete experiences with concepts and the matching and gradations of size, shape, form, color, texture, sound, and taste. The child's senses are refined and perceptual awareness is intensified. The Sensorial materials are a direct preparation for the development of mathematical thinking and the math lessons. Language for the perceptual qualities is concretely represented.
Visual: Introduction to colors and corresponding vocabulary, gradation through size, and an introduction to basic geometric forms.
Auditory: Matching and gradations of sounds and musical tones and rhythm instruments.
Gustatory and Olfactory: Experiencing tastes and smells.
