Math
Introduction to operations
At GVM, children explore basic mathematical operations through hands-on activities, making learning engaging and intuitive.
Hands-On Tools for Learning:
- Addition and Subtraction: Using materials like bead bars and number boards, children learn to add and subtract in a visual and tactile way.
- Multiplication and Division: Older preschoolers use manipulatives such as multiplication bead bars and division boards to understand these operations.
Benefits of Montessori Math:
- Concrete to Abstract: Children start with physical objects to grasp basic concepts before moving to abstract thinking.
- Individualized Pace: Each child progresses at their own pace, ensuring a deep understanding of each concept.
- Real-World Connections: Math activities relate to real-life situations, making learning relevant and meaningful.
Through this approach, children develop a strong foundation in math, fostering a love for learning and problem-solving.
