Parts of a Leaf Montessori 3-Part Cards

Montessori 3-Part Cards usually consist of three pieces:

• a control with the picture and its name

• a picture without the name

• a label without the picture

Our cards feature the parts of a leaf and come with an extra text card for readers and a control booklet so the work is self-correcting and independent! With the optional cursive label (D’Nealian font), you can choose to include it or just use the print version.

3-Part Cards are used to explore a variety of topics that are otherwise inaccessible in a normal classroom or home, bridging space and time. They can be matched, used as a kind of flashcard in a 3-Period Lesson, adapted for memory games and serve as reading practice.

When you have the real objects available, the leaf part 3-Part Cards are perfect to start or continue the path to abstraction. Using them for learning develops order, reading and visual discrimination. They build vocabulary and help with classification and categorisation.

These cards include pictures, labels and text for the following items:

• leaf
• apex
• base
• margin
• midrib
• blade
• petiole
• veins

The instructions are included and give you at least three different ways to use the printable cards so that your children can learn about parts of a leaf!
