The math materials provide a concrete exploration of the concept of numbers. All works in this area move from concrete (materials only) to abstract (on paper.) The focus is on the concept and process of math rather than the product. This allows the child to experience the decimal system and all its operations joyfully and confidently.

Spoken language is prominent throughout the classroom and incorporated into many vocabulary lessons. Writing and reading are explored through Montessori materials. These materials are designed to lead the children from understanding the sounds of letters to expressing thoughts in writing to reading. The language materials use a multi-sensory approach to literacy.

The practical life materials are child-sized items that use daily living skills. These help children develop hand-eye coordination, gross motor control, fine motor control, and confidence.

The sensorial materials allow the children to explore color, size, shape, dimension, sound, touch, taste, and smell. These materials help the children classify and understand all the information they absorb in the world.

These lessons typically include geography, history, science, botany, zoology, music, and art. These lessons and skills allow the child to discover our world while responding to their natural curiosity and joy.

Connecting with the natural world is an essential part of child development. Children in Montessori classrooms are encouraged to explore nature in various ways. They do this through gardening, exploring the land, playing, and observing plant and animal life. Unstructured time outdoors improves focus, problem-solving skills, impulse control, self-discipline, physical development, and health.
