Montessori Kindergarten Math Education - Here's why it works so well

After 15 years as a math teacher and parents of five children, I really saw something new (for me) in mathematics education for the past year that really impressed me.

My (then four years) son attends a Montessori pre-school class and learned math concepts in a way that I never had the room with me, nor any of my three older children have learned.

The Montessori approach to mathematics
Montessori-based math education happening on the basis ofConcrete to abstract classes for Montessori-speak as "works", which really just manipulative.

This well-designed, highly specialized manipulative for each "mathematics" to make abstract ideas more accessible to a child.

Each new work is to introduce students have only a one-to-one lessons with the teacher.

With this individualized teaching, teachers can wait until every student is ready for the next level of abstraction firstIn the ventricle.

Step-by-step progress
Some boys in my son (mixed age) were pre-school class to learn how to winds are still, while other types of learning place value and addition and subtraction. But do young children understand mathematics early in life that count, and a master-to-one for the post and had to work for addition and subtraction.

This is to remember a very important concept for children.There may be lessons "skipped" in the Montessori preschool mathematics curriculum, (and should not "jump" to any math curriculum, in my humble opinion in.) My son's classmates realized that mastery of each material a lesson is in order skills in mathematics. This is a wonderful approach for pre-school children's math!

mathematics lessons are fun!
From the perspective of my son, the "works", he used to learn math were almost like toys. He got to play withthem in the way the teacher showed him and he came away with an understanding of the mathematical concept. In fact, this really works just a good mathematics education are manipulative, designed to teach mathematics very focused approach.

There are works, keys to teach math skills such as education, measurement, counting numbers, the number of education, one-on-one addition and subtraction, and even higher mathematical concepts. Each time a new math teachers "work" were the children whoready for the next math concept were excited and energized to learn a new math skills. They observe and help each other, the duties of the job and to learn from their colleagues in this way. This is a great way to get to the work of mathematical group!

It works as a Montessori Toys
Some of these would be wonderful toy mathematical manipulative and "kitchen table" classes for parents to do with their children, whether the introduction of mathematical concepts at home. I was very pleased with the progress of my son in mathMontessori school mathematics education, a teacher was obviously very talented, but I think that many children could benefit from home use of the Montessori math manipulatives in the same.

Free Kindergarten Crafts - Let your children to have fun

Children love to do something special. He wants to remain non-routine all the time. Therefore, we will always try something interesting or funny, to demonstrate their outstanding and innovative. If you know your child is one of these children, please encourage them to give their children crafts ideas.

There are many craft preschool children without the men might try to take into account along with her. For example, it would be a series of modelsvessels from mosaic tiles, often used by people in this world. There are also many people who are interested in the production of maps. Of course, even if a lot of people try to make these cards, the result would be different. E 'as it provides the measure in hand crafts ideas the people have created several different designs.

Many people always say that children are like white paper. If you add a different color on paper, the newspapers wouldcontain these colors. So if you are interested in innovative ideas in teaching your children with some, so they can be innovative when they grow up, you are always welcome to try to think your children ask for more, and you can try to spend more time to make the craft with your children.

In addition to making crafts free preschool, you can also try to make some works of other types of vehicles. Obviously, the price you must pay these works a bit 'expensive. Butwould not be much expensive than buying the products directly. Yes, that products "do it yourself is also something that people with a good product to market can offer. I do not usually necessary, by the time of writing products from the brands, so you usually have to spend less money to pay the products. And you will be proud when you use these products.

As a result, many parents try to teach their children with technology education in this way. They aretry to teach their children that do not need to be materialistic all the time. You can tell your children, that is quite happy to use, things DIY is that there is no need for them to waste a lot of money to buy luxury brands.

Many studies show that teen-age care for their people as long as the future spending habits. If children always have the money to buy expensive things, they will rather spend too much when they grow up. So you think you necessarily have toTeach your children with these moral values. For example, you can encourage your children, handmade birthday gifts to give to their friends. This can help them be proud of their things DIY, and create love. This kind of creativity is something that needs child care so that they are exceptional in the future when they grow up.

Parenting Encouragement - 5 reasons why not send your child to kindergarten if

The life and growth of a child can grow from a seed or a sapling plants are compared. Check out why your children to stay home, right from the kindergarten year.

Growing up with an avid gardener for a mother, I saw the beginning of the planting, protection and in establishing the first-hand many times. E 'was only when I have my children, I realized how much he thought the analogy of a mother with small children.

Reason # 1 - Time to Plant - Earth

When our child from infancy to early childhood years, we can share with them begin to correct patterns of behavior, Internet Godly, moral reasons why we do things, basic and good manners. We have the possibility of a way of life at home for many children with educational situations that come to us every day.

If our children are far away from us for up to five hours a day, you lose precious time with them. We lose many opportunities for trainingtheir hearts soft and supple. This is the time to prepare the ground for your seedlings or saplings. Add to your compost, rake over, and watered the earth.

Instead of the child, this is the time to preschool children with other children do not want to have wisdom as you. Your baby is in an overcrowded classroom with a teacher who can not give their best day of your child, the same one-on-one attention. This is besides the fact that they do notLove your child, you want to control how, and do not have the opportunity to train all the boys in her school's maternal kindness, gentleness, e.

Reason # 2 - Time for weed control - influence in a young garden

Raymond and Dorothy Moore, grandparents of the homeschooling movement in the United States, that the less the external influences in the life of a young child, the better. Their reasoning is that if a child is the heart soft and receptive, you can collect not only thegood in others, often are more likely to get the misconduct of colleagues to see. Just like a young sapling tree, this is the time to go to them to protect them form the wind, as it covered with hessian to stop freezing.

After many years (over 60) in early childhood, Moore was taken to a location of sample studies by various groups of children and concluded that a child needs no more than 3 or 4 close friends in their primary years.

AlthoughYour child away from you for a long period of time each day, you are not able to influence, which they see as. You, as a mother who chooses to be near his son in his younger years, so, able to influence what is acceptable in your child's life. You can also keep your child from things that lead to a desensitization of the wise of this world that can protect very dangerous for the soul of a child.

Reason # 3 - Time for Food - Your child is uniqueInterests

While the first two reasons were more negative, this neighbor is one of the benefits to keep your children at home. In preschool, the child is like a blossoming flower. They are from all over the world around them and the people and places that make it up with enthusiasm. Starting the show special interest in particular topics. Just as they feed the hydrangeas the same food as a rose can not be taught to children on a very different and uniqueLevel.

A mother knows her child is able to grow and groom them according to their interests. She is also able to precisely monitor the child's weaknesses and difficulties in the areas of learning and working to help them reach their child and to acceptable standards.

Reason # 4 - The time for pruning - Discipleship

Most parents will tell you that the period of intensive training in child takes the first 5 - 7 years of a child's life. And 'this time, and set limitsacceptable level of behavior.

If a child in kindergarten, it has to do not only aspects of normal childhood education, but also with the behavior, unfortunately, that a child gets hurt in an environment in which schools most of the time with the children, emotionally and morally immature as output is like your son.

If the child is at home, you will be able to nip bad behavior in the bud before it takes root. You will be able to cut and crop your child in a sweet and lovingWay to see if the unwanted behavior is based on

Reason # 5 - time to enjoy - seeing them grow

Your child after the constant loving care in the first 5 years, is now starting in the things they have learned to grow - like a tree, providing its first branches with leaves for shade, so you can sit and enjoy below.

You have to be there for your child to lead, and lead. His son, however well founded, is still in needYour contribution is less than the intensity when they have learned to respond to your recipe with a happy heart. What a wonderful time that's why you give them the benefit of another? From that point on, continue to be diligent with the care and leadership you and your child together with the company as a matter of lifestyle, such as their home school during the elementary years.
