Math in our Primary Classroom

Doctor Maria Montessori believed that children come to absorb mathematical concepts naturally.... Through the Montessori Curriculum areas of practical Life, Sensorial and Mathematics, children experience the concepts of order, measurement, calculations. 
numeric symbol recognition, counting and exactness.
Montessori math lessons lead the child through progressive hands-on activities, emphasizing concepts while preparing the child for abstractions.
