We are back this month with 12 months of Montessori Education and Activities. The focus this month is on Montessori Math. I know there is excellent information on Montessori materials and the sequence of teaching the different lessons around the web. But today I wanted to touch on something that has been a big part of our homeschooling, and that’s Budgeting.

These easy to do Montessori Math Activities will have your children understanding and loving math in no time.

Easy Ways to Use Montessori Math on a Budget

Since the child is believed to have a “Mathematical Mind” and automatically attracted to math and learning the world around them, it’s been easy for us to use a lot of our daily activities for math.

Living math is when children learn from their daily activities and play.

Some activities could be cooking (measuring and counting ingredients)

Counting things around the house as they are used and played with.

Sorting and Classifying objects (which a lot of children regularly do while playing)

Using Living Math Activities helps kids to understand and relate. It also brings meaning and purpose to Math.

Here you will see how to use counting cards with loose parts. We like to use things from nature as much as possible and fall is a great time to find acorns, mini pinecones, and rocks to use.

We are still enjoying these DIY Spindle Baskets. They can be made easily and switching around the cards keeps it interesting for the children. If you’re not into DIY materials you can pick up the Montessori Spindle Box here.

The control of error through the material makes a child use his reason, critical faculty, and his ever increasing capacity for drawing distinctions.
