Activities involving form had a key role in Édouard Séguin’s approach to the education of «idiots» or «feeble-minded» people, in his pioneer work developed between 1837 and 1847. We discuss the geometrical content of exercises on lines, configuration, solids, and the plane, which were intended to awake the child’s awareness in relation to the environment. The failure of his attempts, conducted together with the medical doctor Jean Itard, to teach a single pupil how to draw a square, was the starting point of theoretical and experimental work linked to his earlier refections on art (painting). Séguin was able to develop intuitive, implicit geometrical knowledge that schools did not usually teach, which was revealed as crucial for encouraging disabled children’s activity, intelligence, and will. His vision is still present in Montessori’s educational materials and ofers an example of attention to geometry in basic education among the innovators in the 19th century.
