Mathematics is introduced when the child demonstrates interest and readiness. We match each child's ability with the appropriate materials so that his learning experiences are both positive and rewarding while providing optimal learning at each stage of development.

Introduction to mathematics begins with a clear, sensorial impression derived on the child’s part from manipulation of objects, movement, and activity.

As each mathematical concept is internalized, the child weans himself gradually from concrete objects and then progresses to the abstract level that is required for a more advanced math curriculum. This method of instruction, devised by Dr. Montessori, has proven to be successful in teaching math skills while enabling the child to enjoy working in the subject.

Each child benefits from this concrete introduction to abstract concepts such as decimal system identity, commutative and associative properties, and cube vs. square concepts. Kindergarten students work with the math operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division using Montessori Golden Bead material. The success that the child meets here inspires confidence and a desire to seek out future learning experiences.
