In this post, we would like to share with you Mathematics Grade 1 Common Core Task Cards. This post will guide you through understanding how children can practice and demonstrate their math skills using our Task Cards. The Task Cards are used with the Montessori materials and will help children meet and exceed expectations from States standards.

We are excited to introduce our new math curriculum, the Introduction to US Currency Complete Set! Children are introduced to the US currency (coins and notes) and are learning real-life problem-solving skills using money. This complete set includes 56 Task Cards and all you need to meet the needs of children ages 6-9. We have […]

Mathematics 6-12 The Montessori Algebraic Peg Board is an excellent material to be used in the elementary years. It consists of a square wooden board containing 900 holes. The board is accompanied by hierarchical colored pegs and metal bowls with which learners are familiar. In some exercises, the colors won’t matter, whereas; in other exercises, […]

Geometry 6-12 In the early years of their education, Montessori learners are exposed to an abundance of materials that indirectly refine the mathematical mind formation. Perhaps the most impactful material is the set of Constructive Triangles. They consist of five boxes with various shapes filled with colorful shapes. Out of small parts, children explore different […]

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 […]

Negative Numbers are used in everyday life, from temperature measurement to points and penalties in games. Thus, children naturally experience negative numbers, and by the time they reach the elementary years, they are ready to use them in a variety of mathematical contexts. Our new material, Negative Numbers, is an innovative concept aiming to demonstrate, […]

The Montessori math materials are perhaps the most ingenious apparatuses used in the early childhood years. Not only are they aesthetic and sensorially appealing to children, but each apparatus is designed with longevity and they provide access to abstract math through sensorial means as well. Montessori math materials tend to have direct purposes that are […]

The Table of Pythagoras is a sensorial material that consists of squares ranging from 1² to 10², and rectangles with sides ranging from 1 cm to 10 cm. Children begin to build a large square starting at the top left corner of a working space. They place the smallest tile, which is 1 cm². Next, they […]

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 […]

Montessori math materials are perhaps the most compelling materials that grant access to complex math in early childhood. The Golden Bead material is the quintessential math material since it makes it possible for children as young as 4.5 to work within the decimal system (base 10 system). Children go through a series of presentations that […]
