蒙特梭利乘法（乘法珠板） - 蒙特梭利數學

Children will form a concrete and abstract understanding of multiplication. This will be taught through the use of Montessori materials and teaching methods, such as the multiplication board. In the first class we will start with going over all of the features of the multiplication board and the teacher will introduce to the students how we use it. From there, we will begin working on simple multiplication equations, which the children will be doing along with the teacher, at home using their real or printable materials that will be sent to you once you sign up. The next class will expand on the class previously, while ensuring that any questions that students have, are being answered. Montessori is child-led and extremely adaptable. The teacher will go at a pace that the children are able to follow with. For example, if the class is understanding the basics of multiplying with the multiplication board very quickly, we will move on to more complicated equations. The teacher will move at the pace of the children and adapt each lesson to fit their needs.

As you can see, the classes are only 20 minutes long. This is because I am trying to imitate how the children would be treated in the Montessori environment. I will be introducing the materials to them, then encouraging them to try by themselves, with me still there to help if they need it. The children are then encouraged to continue to practice the materials and what they learned in class, between classes. We will start the second class by going over any difficulties that we had while practicing by ourselves on our own time.

Prior Knowledge: Children should be able to identify all numbers by looking at the symbol (ex. 37) independently. They should also have a concrete understanding of addition and subtraction, with carrying over.  

Please note: All transfers to another time must be done at least 24 hours before. Please ensure that the class time(s) works with your schedule.
