THE MONTESSORI PHILOSOPHY

Mathematics and Geometry

Montessori math has an incredibly detailed, step by step approach. It begins with the concrete and systematically moves to the abstract, developing an ever increasing understanding of math. Montessori materials are used to introduce a child to a mathmatical concept, then the child is given time to manipulate the materials to gain understanding through repetition. Working with these materials is fun and gives the child a deeper understanding of math and geometry.
