In the Montessori system, grades 4-6 are equivalent to the upper elementary level. Therefore, our new set of task cards, The Study of Surface Area, is classified as a 9-12-year-old material. However, basic calculations such as measuring a square or a rectangle can be introduced in the late lower elementary years.

Dr. Montessori believed in introducing Geometry to preschool-aged children. Her way to achieve this was by using children’s senses as a vehicle for learning. In the primary level, children explore geometry through the manipulation of sensorial materials which include the Geometric Solids, the Geometric Cabinet, the Constructive Triangles, and the Blue Constructive Triangles. Concepts are […]

Measurements are part of our daily lives. Children, especially in Montessori programs, have already been indirectly working with measurements. They learn time through their daily routine. They learn weight using calibrated materials (Pink Tower, Brown Prisms, Knobbed Cylinders…). They learn length when manipulating materials such as Red Rods and Numerical Rods. They observe volume when […]
