Montessori Teens and Tens Extension Work

A few weeks ago, I shared some of the extension works that Vito was doing on the teens and the tens on my Instagram. We didn't own the complete set of Sequin Boards, so I decided to make our own materials to do more exercises and not be limited by the boards. I have talked about learning about teens the Montessori way here and in this post. In this post, I will give you a walk-through of how we learn more about the tens and how we practice counting bigger numbers (from 11 to 100).

FREE Pinecone Letter and Number Cards

My freebie of the month is no other than the pinecone letters and number cards!  Our pumpkin and apple has been very popular lately so I wanted to share these pinecone cards for free!

Apple Counting Activity

We’ve been working on apple-themed activities for the past few days, and I just have to include this fun counting activity.

Learning About Number Bonds for Kids

Help your child understand number bonds with our fun and engaging learning materials.  They are so easy to use and prepare!  These number bond activities will aid your kids, and students in understanding "Parts of a whole", basic addition, subtraction, and number recognition.  These will keep your little ones engaged as these learning materials encourage the use of manipulatives which promote hands-on learning and real-world experience in object manipulation and counting.

Back to School: Our Math Learning Resources

We are using Montessori Math albums in our homeschool so our math works revolve mostly on classic Montessori materials.  I also integrate seasonal activities in our learning activities to add some twist.  I got my albums from Montessori Parent and KHT Montessori for early childhood.  These are amazing resources that have helped me understand the order of materials to use and basically how to use them.  We tend to do a lot of extension works, something that are not included in most of these albums.  I share these activities mostly in my Instagram account and hopefully I will have some time to share them here in the blog as well.

Note that this list is for our personal homeschooling only.  It doesn’t reflect what’s in a Montessori classroom.  The list serves as my guide in the subject area and Vito's possible activities this school year.  Although I have a plan and a guide it doesn’t mean that Vito is forced to work on all of these for the next 10 months.  Depending on Vito's interest and progress, we will choose which activity to do and prioritize.
