? Usually, many people think that mathematics is simple calculation, measurement and various symbols! In fact, mathematical thinking is everywhere in our daily life; For example, how many stripes do zebras have in the zoo and how many legs do elephants have? For example, how many pine trees and camphor trees are there in the park? These concrete things are slowly letting children establish the concept of quantity! Montessori mathematics is from concrete to abstract, first understand the concept of quantity, and then combine number and quantity!
? Many parents don't understand why they spend so much money. Their children were sent to Montessori class yesterday to do all kinds of housework, such as peeling apples, washing tables and sweeping the floor ... why should they be sent to school when they can do it at home?
? Indeed, in every Montessori classroom, the daily life area is the most interesting work for children in the early stage, and it is also a compulsory course for them; Cultivate children's fine movements, sense of order and sense of responsibility, and develop their logical thinking through daily work; At the same time, promote the development of children's mathematical mind! For example, "How much soap does it take to wash the table? Turn around the table a few times, just right. How hard is it to sweep the floor? For example, how many bowls do you want to put, how much water do you need, and how much detergent do you need for cleaning ~ ~ ~
? These seemingly unrelated things are actually developing children's mathematical minds invisibly; Let the children experience it personally, so as to have an abstract concept of quantity!
? Having done enough preparatory work, of course, we will begin to enter the theme! Montessori mathematics is a course that everyone is very familiar with and very concerned about! It is also one of the essences of Montessori education. From the first Montessori classroom in 1907 to the present, all classrooms in Casa class use the teaching AIDS developed by Dr. Montessori personally 100 years ago, but our teaching AIDS are provided by the teaching aid manufacturers, not made by the teachers themselves! Through hundreds of years of inheritance and research, we find that this teaching aid is so perfect and accurate that it is almost impeccable! From the understanding of 1- 10 to the introduction of "100,000", from the synthesis and decomposition of 10 to the formation of "decimal"; All work starts with quantity, and then the combination of number and quantity; Let children fully understand the concept of quantity and have a quantitative image in their minds; Start to lead in the abstract direction, such as bank games, stamp games, point games, decimal bead racks and so on! Step by step, we let our children understand mathematics, fall in love with mathematics, and then use mathematics in their lives. The true essence of Montessori mathematics this time ...
