Curriculum
The Five Areas of the Montessori Curriculum
Practical Life
The Montessori Practical Life Curriculum incorporates exercises and activities that children observe in daily life. These activities develop children’s independence, concentration, and fine motor skills. Typical practical life activities involve transferring, food preparation, lessons in grace and courtesy, and cleaning.
- Spooning
- Tonging
- Threading
- Sweeping
Example materials and activities include:
Sensorial
Sensorial activities teach children to refine their senses of sight, touch, sound, smell and taste so that they are able to organize sensory impressions and their understanding of the world. Through sensorial materials, children learn about similarity and difference, dimensions, colors and shapes, and distinguish between smells, taste and sound. Sensorial work also prepares children for mathematics, language and geometry by teaching children how to classify and sort.
- Pink Tower
- Color Box
- Geometric Solids
- Trinomial Cube
Example materials and activities include:
Mathematics
The Mathematics Curriculum teaches children to understand abstract mathematical concepts and relationships through hands-on learning experiences. Children learn to count, identify and match numerals to their quantity, relate decimal quantities and symbols, and become aware of the functions of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division by using the Montessori materials.
- Numerals and Counters
- Hanging Bead Stair
- Teen Boards
- Hundred Board
Example materials and activities include:
Language
The Montessori Language Curriculum provides children with the knowledge and skills to build their vocabulary and understanding of language. The skills required for reading, writing and oral language are developed through hands-on experience using the Montessori language materials. Children learn letter sounds (phonics), letter identification and formation, how to combine sounds to make words, how to build simple sentences, and how to properly hold a pencil. Oral language skills are developed through daily social interactions, group time experiences, and lessons in grace and courtesy.
- Sandpaper Letters
- Moveable Alphabet
- Metal Insets
- Three Part Cards
Example materials and activities include:
Geography
The Culture Curriculum incorporates a wide range of subjects, including: Botany, Zoology, Science, History, Music, Art and Cultures. Through explorations of culture, children develop an understanding of their community, their world, and their social responsibilities. Children learn to respond to diversity with respect, appreciate music and art, and develop awareness of sustainability.
