The Montessori Mathematics materials are extensive, beginning with the concrete and moving into the abstract, allowing continual challenge and growth in the area.
Young children love to count, taking pleasure in the rhythm and the language of numbers. Dr. Montessori demonstrated that, when children have access to mathematical materials at a young age, they will easily and joyfully assimilate many facts and skills of arithmetic.
At Four Seasons Montessori your child will enjoy the opportunity to manipulate concrete materials that represent various mathematical quantities. The beauty of the coloured beads and lacquered wood number cards invite children to touch and to move them around as they count, separate, share and compare the equipment, learning the basic operations of arithmetic.
