Incorporating Montessori Math Activities into Your Childcare Curriculum

Math can be made fun and engaging with Montessori activities. Here’s how to incorporate them into your curriculum:

Number Rods: Use rods of varying lengths to teach counting and basic math concepts.

Bead Chains: Introduce bead chains for skip counting and early multiplication.

Sandpaper Numbers: Provide tactile learning with sandpaper numbers, helping children learn to write numerals.

Counting Objects: Use everyday objects like buttons or stones for counting exercises.

Simple Addition/Subtraction Games: Create games that involve adding or subtracting objects, making math tangible.

Actionable Points

• Integrate math activities into daily routines, such as counting steps or objects during clean-up.
• Use visual and tactile tools to make abstract math concepts concrete.
• Encourage children to explore math at their own pace, offering support as needed.
