Concrete materials that introduce mathematical concepts from counting to operations
Mathematics in Montessori begins with concrete materials that children can see, touch, and manipulate. This hands-on approach helps children understand mathematical concepts deeply before moving to abstract symbols and operations.
Children develop a true understanding of numbers, quantities, and mathematical relationships through exploration and discovery.
Early materials introduce numbers and quantities:
Understanding place value and the decimal system:
Learning addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division:
As children progress, they explore:
Children work with physical materials before moving to abstract symbols, ensuring deep understanding.
Learn MoreMaterials are designed so children can discover and correct their own mistakes independently.
Learn MoreChildren progress at their own pace, mastering concepts before moving forward.
Learn MoreMathematical concepts are introduced in context, making them relevant and interesting.
