Montessori Environment
The math area enables the child to explore mathematical concepts in a concrete to abstract, simple to complex manner. The math area begins with quantities and symbols for 0-10. Materials such as red and blue rod and sandpaper numerals are used for quantities and symbols. After a firm foundation is established the math area goes in three directions-decimal system, linear counting and number operations. A child can be working in 2 or 3 areas at the same time.
