Mathematics
 
     
  The learning materials we use are designed to represent the various mathematical operations. Children learn numerals and operations by manipulating didactic materials and combining them with number cards, charts, and written exercises. Dr. Montessori's renowned "golden bead" material forms the basis for learning the decimal system. This lays the foundation for understanding basic arithmetic functions such as adding, subtracting, dividing and multiplying and promotes a real understanding of the number system in order to go from the very concrete exercises to the abstract.
