Developing math skills is constantly at the center of concern for many educators and parents. The content area itself is like a new language with a set of rules to apply in unknown contexts. Providing children with precise and accurate language while working on math skills is crucial in the development of their confidence and capacity to compound knowledge and progress healthily.

Because children receive formal education about the characteristics and the needs of living organisms such as plants, they are well aware and enthusiastic about their surroundings. This post aims to demonstrate how Alison’s Montessori Curriculum Materials are comprehensive, scaffolded, satisfying years of learning.
