👉 Maria Math, also known as Maria Montessori's math method, is an educational approach that emphasizes hands-on, concrete learning through the use of specially designed materials to teach mathematical concepts. Developed by Maria Montessori in the early 20th century, this method focuses on developing a deep understanding of numbers and operations through practical activities. Children learn by manipulating physical objects like counting beads, fraction tiles, and base-ten blocks, which help them visualize and internalize abstract mathematical ideas. The curriculum progresses from simple to complex concepts, fostering logical thinking, problem-solving skills, and a strong foundation in arithmetic, geometry, and algebra. Maria Math encourages independence, self-directed learning, and a love for mathematics by allowing children to explore and discover mathematical principles at their own pace.
