Montessori Mathematics approach is unique for many reasons. The daily life provides the young children with mathematical awareness concept. Children normally hear words like - “you are 2 years old now” or its 7.00 o’clock” etc. Mathematics materials presentations begin with the quantity, then the symbol and finally the association between the quantities and symbols.

In my Montessori training, Montessori math materials were my adorable activities.Therefore today I just wanted to share our recent work with the golden bead material. One incredible thing about the Montessori math materials is the sensorial exploring aspect on them. This material introduces the child to decimal system,quantity and place value through activities in the operations of addition, multiplication, subtraction and division.
Many resident teachers at our converted classrooms have been considering for a long time on purchasing this piece of material which seemed rather expensive. In our recent in-house refresher training we reviewed on the presentation steps for this material and introduced the teachers on the ways of making less costly bead material. The teachers celebrated the idea since they were sure of teaching the material to children in the near future at their classrooms.
