Why add using your fingers when you can easily memorize your addition facts? Let this guide show you how!

This quick guide is a part of my compilation of all the Montessori lessons in Math for both the primary and elementary levels. Said compilation was a product of a year's worth of teacher-training and was originally written to obtain my Certification as a Montessori Elementary Guide.

Teaching Math the Montessori Way - Addition, Subtraction and Multiplication with the Small Bead Frame Right after memorizing their addition, subtraction and multiplication facts, the children are ready to work with bigger numbers. With the small bead frame, they can do the following: add and subtract with regrouping up to the thousands place and multiply with 1-digit multipliers. Exciting!

Let this guide show you how children can add, subtract, multiply and divide up to the thousands place with just one material - the Decimal System Material (aka Golden Bead Material) - and just by knowing how to count from 1-9.

Sharing with you my personal teaching lesson guide/plan, originally written to obtain my certificate as a Montessori Elementary Guide, in the hopes that it would help you discover the joy of teaching... the joy of teaching THE MONTESSORI WAY!
