Additionally, this guide provides a structured overview to help you navigate the remaining 11 modules of the course.
Key topics featured in this guide include:
- – Overview of Dr. Montessori’s Life, Work, Method, and Philosophy
- – Fundamental Montessori Concepts (Prepared Environment, Freedom, Sensitive Periods, Mixed Age Groups, etc.)
- – Child Development Theory
- – The Role of the Montessori Directress
- – Techniques for Presenting Montessori Lessons
- – Classroom Organization and Management in a Montessori Setting
Manual 2: Montessori Exercises of Practical Life (EPL)
Exercises of Practical Life (EPL) involve everyday tasks commonly performed by adults in their environment. These activities are genuine, rooted in real-life situations, and when introduced at the right developmental stage, they enable children to perform tasks independently, fostering a lifelong sense of self-sufficiency.
This Montessori curriculum manual presents a comprehensive range of step-by-step activities, from basic tasks like pouring water from a jug to more advanced ones such as washing dishes. These exercises are designed to meet a child’s natural desire to engage in purposeful work, encouraging active participation within the family and broader community. By promoting independence, instilling a love for work, building self-esteem, refining motor skills, developing good habits, and supporting the child’s overall normalization, these activities play a vital role in their holistic development.
Manual 3: Montessori Exercises of Sensorial Development
Our senses play a pivotal role in shaping how we perceive and understand the world, acting as key channels for receiving external information. During a child’s formative years, particularly within the sensitive period for sensory development, it is crucial to provide rich opportunities for sensory engagement with their environment.
This detailed Montessori curriculum manual offers an in-depth exploration of Montessori sensorial exercises, featuring full-color, step-by-step illustrations and images. It covers a wide range of sensory activities, including visual, tactile, olfactory, gustatory, and auditory exercises. These activities are specifically designed to stimulate the child’s senses, supporting their comprehensive exploration and deeper understanding of the world around them.
Manual 4: Montessori Language (Manual A)
This Montessori curriculum manual delves into Dr. Montessori’s groundbreaking mathematics materials, which continue to earn admiration from mathematicians. These materials—including number rods, sandpaper numbers, spindle boxes, number cards, and counters—offer children hands-on learning opportunities to master fundamental concepts such as counting, quantity recognition, and numeral association up to ten.
The manual also explores exercises focused on the Decimal System, which are typically conducted using golden bead materials and corresponding number cards. These activities provide children with concrete experiences in addition, multiplication, subtraction, and division.
Furthermore, the manual covers exercises in Linear Counting, guiding children through counting up to one hundred and eventually one thousand. These activities promote a deeper comprehension of numerical concepts, laying a solid foundation for mathematical proficiency.
Manual 5: Montessori Mathematical Exercises (Manual A)
This Montessori curriculum manual focuses on Dr. Montessori’s amazing range of Montessori mathematics materials, which surprise expert mathematicians even today. Materials like number rods, sandpaper numbers, spindle boxes, number cards and counters, etc. teach children counting, identification, and association of quantities and numerals till ten using concrete materials.
The exercises in The Decimal System group (normally done with golden bead material and corresponding number cards) take children to enriched concrete experiences with addition, multiplication, subtraction, and division.
Furthermore, the exercises in The Linear Counting Group enable children to count to a hundred and then one thousand.
Manual 6: Montessori Language (Manual B)
Montessori children frequently reach impressive linguistic and literacy milestones before the age of six, often leaving observers amazed by their achievements.
This Montessori curriculum manual highlights writing, sorting, and grammar exercises within the Montessori language curriculum. It integrates activities such as chalkboard writing and alphabet sorting to strengthen children’s writing abilities. Additionally, the manual introduces word functions, familiarizing children with various parts of speech through the use of concrete symbols. By engaging in farmhouse exercises, children learn to construct phrases and sentences, deepening their understanding of language structure and grammar.
Manual 7: Montessori Mathematical Exercises (Manual B)
This Montessori curriculum manual explores advanced Montessori mathematics activities, expanding on the foundational skills introduced in earlier materials. Bead chain exercises help children develop skills in linear and skip counting, while engaging games—such as the snake game, multiplication bead bars, bead stairs, small number rods, and the stamp game—introduce more abstract approaches to the four operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
Additionally, the manual features exercises for memorizing mathematical tables, including the multiplication board, unit division boards, and charts for addition, multiplication, subtraction, and division. These activities are designed to reinforce mathematical concepts and build fluency in arithmetic operations.
Manual 8: Montessori Cultural Exercises 1 – Geography and History Exercises
In a Montessori classroom, a diverse range of subjects—such as life sciences (botany and zoology), physical sciences, history, geography (natural and human-made), arts, dance, and music—are encompassed within cultural exercises. The Montessori cultural studies curriculum allows children to explore the world in a holistic way, covering continents, countries, people, cultures, landscapes, natural phenomena, sciences, and the arts.
This Montessori curriculum manual provides hands-on activities designed to deepen children’s understanding of these subjects. By working with tangible materials, children not only expand their knowledge but also develop their individuality, gain a stronger connection to their own culture, and grow into independent, contributing members of society. These experiences foster both intellectual growth and a lasting appreciation for the world around them.
Manual 9: Montessori Cultural Exercises 2 – Zoology, Botany and Science Experiments
In their early years, children are naturally drawn to all elements of nature, from plants to animals. Fostering a deep connection with the natural world and offering meaningful experiences is essential for their holistic development. Engaging with nature cultivates a sense of wonder, curiosity, and respect for the environment, while also promoting physical, emotional, and cognitive growth. These experiences nurture a child’s innate curiosity and inspire a lifelong appreciation for the beauty and diversity of the natural world.
This Montessori curriculum manual offers a variety of developmentally appropriate activities in zoology, botany, and science experiments designed to support these goals.
