Montessori Numbers


Montessori Numbers is a set of mathematical activities based on the Montessori method of teaching, where one of the major tenets is a hands-on approach to learning. Using predominately virtual MAB blocks, as well as beads and other commonly recognizable objects, Montessori Numbers takes one specific set of objects and uses them in basic activities which tap into counting and quantity. This app incorporates base ten imagery with units stacked to form columns of ten and columns that are lined up to form squares of 100, allowing students to explore numbers from 1-999. This app also provides the opportunity for students to explore the decimal system and place value.  The app would best utilized in Foundation to Year 2 classrooms as it aligns with the Australian Curriculum: Number and Algebra content strand and the corresponding elaborations for number and place value within these grade levels. Best of all, you can choose an Australian voice to provide feedback which allows for more efficient learning.
