Maths in Montessori
Maths in Montessori is one of the best ways to provide children with a **visual and tactile** approach to arithmetic. When children are presented with a visual and tactile representation of numbers, they become heavily involved in observing and playing with them.
By allowing them access to specially designed mathematical tools and toys, children as young as **four** can efficiently work out addition, subtraction, division, and multiplication problems — with numbers as large as thousands.
