CONCEPT FORMATION
CONCEPT FORMATION is not a lesson unto itself. It is a method of teaching that can be infused into many already set lesson plans. It is a mental process that involves organizing information into categories and using that knowledge to solve problems, reason and plan. Most frequently, I used concept formation by starting with a YES and NO chart and giving students examples of each. Each student will be making conjectures of the concept that you are trying to illustrate. The teacher will eventually

Subtraction Table, Montessori
How the Teacher Would Use the Subtraction Table Demonstrating Inverse Operations: The teacher can use the table to visually show how subtraction is the opposite of addition. For example, they can point out that if 5 + 3 = 8 on an addition chart, finding 8 - 3 = 5 on the subtraction table uses the exact same numbers in reverse. Identifying Number Patterns: Teachers can guide the class to see patterns, such as how moving diagonally udown the table keeps the difference the same (e.g., 9-5=4, 8-4
