Developing Smart-set "Mathematics" according to the method of Maria Montessori, 4+

Mathematics according to the method of Maria Montessori

Maria Montessori - a doctor, scientist, teacher and psychologist. She developed a unique methodology for the development of children. The main thing in this system is freedom and discipline, a fascinating game and serious work at the same time.

thanks to classes with a set, the child learns what “neighboring numbers” are, and learn to determine them. And he will also study the composition of the number and master simple arithmetic operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

How does a magnetic puzzle work?

• puzzle consists of six magnetic rings (four of them with numbers, one with the signs “=” and one ring with the signs “+”, “ -” and so on).
• All rings are freely separated from each other (they can easily be changed places). < /Li>
• The rings connected together can be rotated without analyzing the puzzle itself.

How to play?

In the rules you will find 4 options for the game. One of them is the “neighbors-read”. To begin with, tell the child what “neighboring numbers” are. These are numbers that stand next to each other. Ask the child how he thinks what neighbors have the number 1. If he doubts, show a visual example on a magnetic puzzle. You will need three magnetic rings with numbers.

Install a ring in the middle with a number 1. To the left of this ring set a ring with a number 0, and on the right - with a number 2. As a result, we see that the numbers 1 are 0. And 2. Now separate the rings from each other and ask the baby to determine the neighbors of the number 1. Then you can study the neighbors of the number 2 and so on. After the child was trained in the study of the neighbors of numbers, you can take cards with tasks. On their shirts it is written “Neighbors-Cash”.

pull out the card and place it in front of the child with the side with the task up. Read the task. The child’s task: to determine the neighbors of the number indicated on the map, and make a response on the magnetic puzzle. Is the task completed? Great! Put this card and pull out the next one. Now you need to complete the task from it. Play until all tasks are completed.
