幼稚園向けモンテッソーリ教育に着想を得た実践的な多感覚算数

Using Montessori-inspired math, students use their own manipulatives as we explore number sense, addition, subtraction, and more. Using a second camera, students can work at their own tables simultaneously. We will work on basic calendar skills but also use higher-level thinking to practice patterns as we move through the month. Number sense is emphasized so that students gain a deep foundation for numerical fluency and can apply their basic skills during problem-solving. We use many manipulatives, like number rods, spindle boxes, pattern blocks, snap cubes, golden beads, and number cards, that can be purchased or printed at home. In addition, students play games to build mathematical fluency and confidence in a fun way. We continually spiral back to review number sense skills throughout the year so that students continually use their number sense, even when learning other math concepts. These classes do not build upon each other, and no prior knowledge is needed to join this class.
