Math the Montessori way

2/1/2013

 
Picture
Parents of toddlers, primary and elementary age children were treated to a full presentation of the math curriculum last night. Our teachers Joy, Lindsay, Jennifer, Brittany and JoAnn were all able to introduce the various materials and explain the process that the children experience.

Picture
The toddler works consist of sandpaper numerals, which the children are able to experience in a tactile way, learning to recognize the shape, the name of the number and see the amount represented by circular tiles. 

Primary students go from the sandpaper tiles to the bead stair, seeing the numbers represented by bead chains of varying lengths.

In true Montessori fashion, the materials become more abstract as the child ages, moving from the bead stair to the bank then the stamp box, from the stamp box into the elementary level materials including the checkerboard.

Below is an excellent introduction and tour of the math curriculum. Feel free to come find the materials and ask for a demonstration!
