My Students

We live in a densely populated area of a large city that shares many of the challenges facing other cities of this size. As teachers, we are sensitive to the fact that many of our students struggle to get their basic needs met. All of our students receive free or reduced lunch and breakfast and many of our students are dealing with some kind of significant trauma. Our classroom is the primary age level (three- to six-year-olds) of a diverse Montessori public school. Our classroom is a safe environment designed to help us pursue our natural curiosities to learn as well as learn how to peacefully engage and grow with the members of our community.

My Project

In order to learn most effectively, young children need hands-on learning opportunities.

These Montessori math materials will give my students the extra experiences they need to make sense of the mathematical world.

The concrete nature of counting individual items and matching them with their numerical symbols helps a child associate a quantity with the number that represents that quantity. The hanging bead frames allow children to count the beads, hang them in order from left to right according to increasing quantity, and choose the corresponding number symbol to set with each quantity. The Table of Pythagoras allows children to concretely absorb the Pythagorean Theorem by arranging wooden pieces of varying lengths and widths inside of a square.
