Students first work with concrete activities and then progress gradually towards abstract concepts. Work may include arithmetic, fractions, geometry, and algebra. Math begins with simple number recognition, and is later followed by complex equations.

 The process is taught first, and the facts later. Our program is set up to help develop a sense of order, coordination, concentration, and independence. Numbers through ten, decimal system, linear and skip counting, tables of arithmetic, abstract equations, fractions. 

Our Montessori classes consist of lessons that help students understand and know how to use math, versus just memorizing and regurgitating meaningless facts. Maria Montessori, a doctor with great understanding of human brain development, and an inquisitive learner of physical science herself, developed a math philosophy and curriculum that has been embraced by everyone. 

During class time, children may choose to work in groups or individually. The teacher, called "guide" helps the students use materials and math games. 

Math is fascinating. Sadly, because of negative past emotional experiences, some people hate it. But it need not be that way! The math concepts we are taught developed as we humans tried to come up with a tool to understand the natural world around us. If we take a hold of math as that, as a tool that can help us discover and understand, there will be fun in place of trauma.

Presentations of new concepts are given according to the child's readiness.

The concrete Montessori materials are meant to help children, and often adults, make sense of math, and walk the child from the concrete to the abstract. It is important to let the child lead, making invitations to interact and play together, and creating a positive environment, children are bound to enjoy it! .

Montessori children enjoy math!
