Wheaton Montessori School makes math physical. Science-backed work and play teach math in early childhood. They get individual lessons with no waiting for others' readiness. Young kids’ dramatic play teaches all four math operations. Your child holds and manipulates numbers. They feel quantities and build muscle memory. Specialized instruction spots and fixes mistakes to promote understanding and mastery across all academics. Interesting activities help kids master concepts and feel excited. Visit to see this joyful, hands-on approach.

Our primary students use the Cards and Counters activity to really understand numbers. They match each numeral to the correct number of counters, learning the connection between symbols and quantities. This helps them see that one number equals one set of objects, and they practice counting from 1 to 10. Plus, they learn to tell odd from even numbers by pairing counters, making math visual and easy to understand. It’s all about building confidence, developing fine motor skills, and laying a strong foundation for more advanced math later.

Introducing your child to a well-rounded academic environment early on helps build a strong foundation for their future. Our early childhood program offers engaging, hands-on activities across all subject areas, encouraging critical thinking, problem-solving, and a love of learning. Through playful, self-directed exploration, we aim to nurture your child's confidence and curiosity.

¿Estas cansado de las confusas paradas? ¿Te preguntas donde parar? ¿O
porque Brent sigue agitando los brazos?
¡Bueno, ya puedes salir de dudas! Conozcan a Brent – nuestro encargado del
estacionamiento, o como mucho de nuestros estudiantes los conocen, the Orange Man!
¡Aquí está para mantener el tráfico en movimiento y a los estudiantes seguros!
¡Veamos que fácil es dejar los niños en la escuela!
Primera parada: Zona de espera. Permanezca en su vehículo hasta que el tráfico pase la
línea azul. No se permite cargar o descargar aquí.
¡Cuando Brent de la señal y su vehículo esta más allá de la línea azul, estas listo para
descargar!
Nuestro objetivo es tener la mayor cantidad de vehículos más allá de la línea azul antes de
comenzare a bajar los estudiantes. Una vez que avance el tráfico, avanza y deja el menor
espacio posible entre tu auto y el vehículo de adelante.
¡Si eres el primer vehículo... felicidades! Pero no te detengas antes de tiempo. Avanza
hasta le línea blanca antes de descargar. Es posible que tengas que esperar a que los
autos adelante salgan primero. Una vez que llegues a la línea blanca, ese es tu lugar de
descargar.
Para la seguridad de todos, los estudiantes deben salir por el lado exterior del carril, el lado
opuesto a la línea amarilla. Es posible que tenga que cambiar el lado en el que esta el
asiento para niños o elegir el otro carril.
Una vez que haya entrado al estacionamiento, manténgase en su carril. El carril derecho
sale a la derecha y el carril izquierda sale a la izquierda.
La ley de Illinois restringe el uso de aparatos electrónicos mientras se conduce. Para la
seguridad de nuestros estudiantes, evite usar su teléfono en cualquier lugar de la fila.
Mantengamos nuestro enfoque donde corresponde.
Gracias por ayudar Wheaton Montessori School a ser seguro, eficiente, ¡y puntual todos los
días!

10 lessons. 10 follow-up investigations. One classroom filled with curiosity.
Our Elementary students take on lessons and then carry their learning further through follow up work.

1. Square Roots
Student solving for square roots with the peg board.
2. Samurai History: Research & Construction
As the student said, “Popsicle sticks, cardboard, and hot glue are my thing, so I can do a lot of research.”
3. Fish Research
One student chose to read every fish book they could find, determined not to “miss any facts.”
4. & 5. Capybaras: Scientific Observation
Research leads to detailed drawings, with a student explaining she studied photographs carefully to capture the details.
6. Ganga River Research
A geography lesson expands into a research project and poster exploring the Ganga River.
7. Pascal’s Triangle
Students explore the relationship between Sierpiński triangles and the patterns within Pascal’s Triangle.
8. Tetrahedra
Students take the Sierpinski concept in another direction, constructing three-dimensional Sierpiński pyramids from tetrahedra.
9. Book Group
Discussing the Iliad. One student likens the never ending email box to the Hydra. Agree? Tell us in the comments.
10. Cubing
Student works with cubing materials while showing their work and solution on paper, connecting abstract mathematical concepts to the concrete work that begins much earlier with our preschool counting chains.

This is the power of a lesson that opens a door.
The teacher presents the concept. The child follows the interest, practices the skill, asks new questions, researches, creates, and takes the learning further.
The lesson is just the beginning.
