Guide the young child toward the discovery of order and quantity, transforming abstract numbers into a world of concrete understanding.
Reasons to choose this course
In the Montessori Early Childhood classroom (ages 2.5–6), mathematics is not about memorizing symbols; it is a sensory journey. This course empowers you to introduce mathematical concepts through the "mathematical mind," allowing children to touch, hold, and truly see the logic of numbers.
We dive deep into the progression of the curriculum. You will learn how to guide a child from simple numeration to the vastness of the decimal system using iconic materials like the Golden Beads and Number Rods. Under expert mentorship, you will master the art of teaching linear counting and the four basic operations, ensuring that mathematical patterns become a source of joy rather than frustration. By mastering the "why" behind the methodology, you will be prepared to foster a classroom where children develop a lifelong confidence in their ability to solve problems and understand the world’s numerical order.
Basic Montessori education is required. (If you are new to Montessori, you can fulfill this requirement by completing our Duhovka Institute Onboarding Course online - ask us about this option).
