Why Practical Life Activities are so important in a Montessori classroom?
Practical life activity is a way of life for humans. It helps the child to adapt to his/her environment. Children are naturally attracted to these activities. The graceful coordinated movement calls to the soul of this little child.
Practical Life activities not only offer hand-eye coordination for the child but also help the child to build concentration, develop independency and strengthen his/her will.

In the Montessori classroom, Mathematics is introduced through concrete materials to abstract materials.
Children at the first plane of development are Sensorial explorers. These concrete materials help children to understand the concepts of quantity and group operations through their senses.
As they have experiences in these concepts, abstract materials will be introduced. These abstract materials help children to understand the essential combination of numbers which allows children to solve mathematics quickly without the use of materials.

Within education, music and movement activities use a range of sensory modalities such as vision, hearing, and movement to support learning in a fun and engaging way. Children learn through play, imitation, and exploration – and music and movement combine these using various senses.

“Education is not something a teacher does, but it is a natural process which develops spontaneously in the human being. It is not acquired by listening to words but in virtue of experiences in which the child acts on his environment.” – The Absorbent Mind.
