Our Primary, Kindergarten aged, friend is so proud of his tackling of this decimal system lesson. Montessori math materials are designed to provide concrete support from beginning counting to more advanced math concepts. This allows the child to come to their own understanding of these concepts faster.

Another example of math at the Elementary level. The thousand chain serves the purpose of linear counting, to strengthen the child's abilities in counting from 1 to 1,000. This lesson and work is also indirectly preparing the child for squaring and cubing to come in later lessons and works.

This younger Elementary student is deeply engaged in a fractions lesson. Montessori math uses manipulative materials, providing both a physical experience and visual reference. This forms a concrete understanding of basic math concepts. As children progress with math lessons, their concrete understanding of math naturally progresses to the ability to think abstractly.
