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.

In Montessori classrooms, children can use materials like the colored bead bars and number tiles to physically manipulate the numbers and gain a visual understanding of how they work together. Our Number Bonds Task cards will provide your learners with a problem to solve, along with a visual representation of a number bond. They can be used for review, as a form of self-assessment.

Let’s talk about the power of Montessori’s Number Rods with Extension Cards! The Montessori Number Rods are a foundational Montessori material used to introduce children to the basic concepts of math such as counting, number sequencing, and size discrimination. These rods come in varying lengths and colors, each representing a different numerical value. The direct aim of using the Number Rods is to teach children to isolate numbers and comprehend their relative value in a visual, tactile manner. The indirect aim of this work is to develop their concentration, focus, and fine motor skills.

It is an approach that recognizes that children have an innate hunger for knowledge and exploration learning through hands-on experiences, imagination, and experimentation.
