Mathematics is conventionally taught in a very abstract manner that so many adults just either dislike it or have very negative associations with learning it.

Montessori mathematics is the opposite. You will see how math can be taught in a very concrete way leading to a joy for learning and very clear understanding of concepts.

This module will take you through step-by-step in learning how to present to children:

 – The decimal systems

 – Basic Operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division)

 – Introduction to algebra and geometry

In culture studies, you will learn how we present Zoology, Botany, History and Geography to children in their early years. All these areas are inter-connected and children learn using a variety of materials.

You will learn to make many such materials and to present them in the right way – taking children to learn about the world they live in.

Observation is seen as one of the most simple, yet effective methods of assessing young children as they develop. For an early childhood educator, observing a child begins with noting how each child behaves, learns, reacts to new situations and interacts with others.

In this module, you will be guided through the process of how to track student behaviour over time, assess children in all areas of development and create detailed documentation to be shared with parents and supervisors.

The goal of Curriculum Planning module is to teach you how to organise the curriculum around a central theme. We will guide you how to take a theme and integrate it into a series of lessons that will stretch across the curriculum, such as Math, Language, EPL, Sensorial Training Cultural Studies and more.

Upon completed you will be equipped with the skills to develop and varied thematic units to use through out the school year with young children.
