Students are exploring number concepts throughout the day and during Montessori work period. In our classroom there are many different levels of learners - we have students working on recognizing numbers to 20, numbers to 100, numbers in the thousands; we have students counting to 100, skip counting and ordering numbers. We are beginning to explore addition and subtraction as well. Many of our grade 2 students are working on dynamic addition/subtraction (adding and subtracting with carrying over, to 100) whereas, grade 1's are working on more simple addition and subtraction equations. Please talk with your child about their understanding of numbers and adding and subtracting.
Count while you're in the car, going grocery shopping, setting the table. Add and subtract while you're doing the dishes, folding laundry, waiting for swimming classes to start. In any downtime, take the time to work on numbers with your child.
