In the Montessori classroom children learn through phonetics as well as sight reading through labels in the classroom. Individualistic lessons are based on phonetics, linguistics and sight reading skills. The children s interest in reading is never stifled by monotony, rather it is cultivated as their most important key to future learning. Mathematics Maria Montessori demonstrated that if children have access to logical thinking approaches of mathematics in their early years, they joyfully acquire the necessary skills and facts about math. The Montessori approach to mathematics is logical, clear and effective.
Children work with concrete materials representing abstract concepts.
The whole math experience is very kinesthetic and visual. Children learn concepts though natural progression. The classroom is full of materials for learning the concepts of numeration, addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and problem solving. Children study about the world through maps and globes. The objective is to increase their awareness of our planet.
