Montessori Picks for the Week of September 21, 2009

Begin the first week of autumn by infusing some innovate math lessons into your curriculum. 

Math

In the current AMC Montessori Fall Hands On Lesson Planning Newsletter, Mel, from MTE, Ltd. provides a problem solving sample to help students learn about transversable curves. Based on the thoughts of Piaget and Montessori; Educational Critical Thinking is logical and productive thinking that is capable of extending ideas, creating new ideas, and synthesizing patterns of thought. Educational Critical Thinking is a type of disciplined reasoning and must be self-directed, self-disciplined, self-monitored, and self-corrective. See Part V

In Part VI, Dr. Borenson, of Hands On Equations, has provided some free algebra samples for you to present to your children. Click here to download the exercises.

Visit American Montessori Consulting and look under New and Notable for additional articles and free lesson plans.

Enjoy!
