An Oval Pyramid in Montessori education refers to a three-dimensional geometric shape with an oval base and triangular faces that converge to a single point or apex. While the oval pyramid is not part of the standard Montessori materials, it can be introduced as an additional shape for children to explore, especially to expand their understanding of geometric solids beyond the basic pyramids with square, triangular, or circular bases.
The Oval Pyramid offers a tactile and visual experience for young learners to better understand the concepts of three-dimensional shapes, proportions, and spatial relationships.
