Meyer Executive Director Developing a Mathematical Mind Often in this world, students learn math by rote, without any real understanding or ability to put their skills to use in everyday life. Learning comes much more easily when they work with concrete educational materials that graphically show what is taking place in a given mathematical process. In Montessori, we use hands-on learning materials that make abstract concepts clear and concrete.
Students can literally see and explore what is going on.
Our approach to teaching Mathematics is based on the research of Drs. Maria Montessori and Jean Piaget. It offers a clear and logical strategy for helping students both understand and develop a sound foundation in mathematics and geometry. Since quantities larger than twenty rarely have any meaning to a young child, Dr. Montessori reasoned that we should present this abstract concept graphically. Montessori overcame this obstacle by developing a concrete representation of the decimal system.
