Montessori Mathematics for Pre-school

🧮 Montessori Mathematics for Pre-school: Confidence in Teaching Mathematics Skills 🎓

Course Description:

Unlock the potential of young minds as they grasp the fundamental principles of mathematics with the Montessori approach. "Montessori Mathematics for Pre-school" is a comprehensive course designed to equip educators with the knowledge and skills necessary to foster a natural love for math in children aged 3-6 years old.

Why Teach Math to Preschoolers? 🚀

Mathematics is the language of the universe, and its foundations are best laid during the early years of education. By nurturing mathematical skills from the start, we set the stage for a lifelong interest in STEM fields (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics). This course will show you how to empower children to approach problems with confidence, enhance their interest in math, conquer any fear they may have, and ultimately excel in careers spanning from engineering to information technology.

Montessori's Hands-On Approach:

🧪 Real-Life Application: Our course introduces the Montessori Mathematics curriculum, which is based on hands-on experiences that allow children to learn at their own pace through:

• Bead and Stamp Material: A tangible way to understand decimal systems and large numbers.
• Strip Boards: For mastering the concept of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division in a visual format.
• Fraction Circles: To grasp fractions through physical shapes that represent different parts of a whole.
• Essential Math Facts: Ensuring children internalize these facts to use independently later on.

Building a Solid Foundation:

Children who learn math using the Montessori method are more confident, have a profound understanding of quantities, and are encouraged to experiment and make mistakes – an essential part of learning. Our approach focuses on the process over the product, allowing for a more holistic understanding of mathematics.

From Concrete to Abstract:

The Montessori Mathematics curriculum is carefully structured to lead children from concrete materials to abstract concepts:

• Concrete Materials First: Introduce tangible representations of mathematical concepts before moving on to more abstract ideas.
• Symbolic Representations: Teach the symbols (numbers) once children have a grasp of what they represent.
• Sequential Learning: Always introduce new concepts in a logical order, starting with one and progressing through the numbers.

Visual and Tactile Learning:

With the Montessori method, children can tackle complex calculations at an early age – often well into their thousands – because they have a clear, hands-on understanding of numbers and operations. This course will show you how to provide this level of mathematical proficiency to preschoolers in your care.
