Gaveta de círculos

Spanish to English Other Education / Pedagogy
Hi! I am translating a curriculum from P.R. One of the topics covered in Geometry is "Gaveta de círculos", there is also "Gaveta of triangles, rectangles, etc.)

Any idea what these "gavetas" are?

Yes! It is from a Montessori school.
philgoddard Nov 6, 2017:
It's a Montessori school, right?
philgoddard Nov 6, 2017:
What kind of curriculum is this - elementary school, university, or somewhere in between? If it's the former, it could literally just mean a drawer containing circles.

The asker says this is from a Montessori school.

"Gaveta de triángulos" gets two hits, both from Montessori schools in Puerto Rico. One has a picture, halfway down the page. It's just a tray of plastic or cardboard triangles for kids to play with and learn about this shape.

It's translated on that page as "triangles tray" - I suspect it's called a "gaveta", or "drawer", because the trays fit inside a cabinet.

There's a picture of a rather different Montessori circles tray here:
