Introducing the Brown Stair and Pink Tower! This app is the sequel to our Pink Tower application and contains more challenging extensions, giving children a visual discrimination of dimensions. The dimensional relationship of the cubes and prisms in this app are exactly the same as physical Montessori materials and extensions like these are part of the introduction to math in the Montessori method. This app was co-developed and approved by an AMI certified, Montessori teacher with over forty years experience teaching children! We thank you for your support of our Pink Tower application and hope you enjoy this app as well! Please see our other Montessori applications in the App Store! Visit us at www.mobilemontessori.org.

Great app for getting kids interested in using the sensorial equipment in the classroom. A few issues though, it is not the Montessori philosophy to tell the child "great job" the achievement should be recognized by directing it through the child, not a voice from an app. Also when the equipment moves into place, it is too loud. Children are taught to manipulate the equipment silently. This has proved issue in my class where children after using the app start banging the equipment around. And since when is it the brown stair?! In my experience it has always been the BROAD stair. The app itself is great, but the language and sounds used would have Dr. Maria Montessori roll in her grave
