Description
If you have been looking for a comprehensive compilation of advanced math lessons for Upper Elementary and Secondary students, look no further. The Marvels of Montessori Math includes not only traditional Upper Elementary lesson sequences on squaring, cubing, and their roots as well as on alternate base systems, but also lessons addressing modern math standards like percents, ratio/proportion, and probability/statistics (calculations and graphs). All of the lesson sequences, even those addressing math standards, are introduced concretely using traditional Montessori materials or common everyday objects like checkers or playing cards. Each sequence is planned with meticulous attention to isolated difficulties and direct/indirect aims. Each lesson includes masters for tickets and headings needed to give the lessons, graphs and other illustrations, follow-up options and, where appropriate, Controls of Error. When appropriate, lessons are fully indexed to Common Core Standards. The album is in full color, so there is no guessing as to how illustrations correlate with the beautiful Montessori Materials.
