Maria Montessori claimed that all humans have a Mathematical Mind. And yet if that’s the case, then how come math is so painful and elusive to many children and adults?

The answer partly lies in how mathematical concepts are taught from an early age. The most common problem is that mathematical concepts are taught in an abstract way much too quickly. Children learn through their hands and need concrete manipulatives to help them understand the world around them. This is what Montessori Math does at its most basic level but there is so much more.

Montessori alumni often say that their lifelong love of math stemmed from their early encounters with numbers in their Montessori classroom. Come learn the secrets behind Montessori Math and why it is considered one of the most beautiful and amazing elements of a Montessori education.
