Mathematics is introduced through concrete materials to abstract materials.

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.
