Maria Montessori was an Italian physician and educator best known for her unique approach to education - but did you know what she had to say about children's relationship with the Earth?

Early Childhood - Bead Chain

Look at that focus! In addition to linear counting from 1-1,000, the Bead Cabinet provides a concrete representation of many abstract mathematical concepts. Through the use of short and long bead chains, number squares and cubes, and numeral arrows, the Bead Cabinet concretely demonstrates skip counting, multiples, squared numbers, and cubed numbers.

Early Childhood - Knobless Cylinders

Look at that focus and confidence! The knobless cylinders refine and apply the child’s ability to discriminate dimension and prepare for mathematics activities involving comparison, grading, and seriation. A student initially orders a set of cylinders as a line or as a tower and later the sets are combined so the interrelationships in size can be examined.

Toddler - Visual Discrimination

This student was so excited to try a new work today! She couldn’t wait to get her hands on the farm animal work as she intensely observed the lesson! She focused for so long, working to match the objects to pictures.

Matching an object to it’s picture enhances children’s visual discrimination skills. This is a vital skill for pre-reading, helping to build vocabulary, moving left to right, and providing order. It also helps toddlers to explore abstraction. They start to make the connection that what they hold in their hand is the same as what they see in the picture.

Early Childhood - Moveable Alphabet 

“To make himself heard, man no longer depended on the volume of his voice. With the alphabet he could be heard from one continent to another, from yesterday to tomorrow. He could reach people distant in space and in time. Without uttering a sound—in silence—his thoughts could be heard all over the world at the same time.”- Mario Montessori, quoting his mother #HappyMothersDay

Lower Elementary - Division

This student is using the Golden Bead material to solve 2-digit division problems. The Golden Bead materials provide a concrete representation of math concepts beginning in Early Childhood and are continued to be used through Elementary.
