Preschool Math and the Didactic Materials.
Thompson, Dorothy
Montessori Life, v7 n2 p20-21 Spr 1995
Proposes guidelines for introducing enrichment materials in the Montessori classroom, focusing on the introduction of numbers to young children and recommendations for specific mathematics activities. Suggests that one reason for adding materials is to revitalize the classroom environment, as children expect novelty and change. The risk is that teachers will overload the room and the children.
