Colorful Dessert Easy Recipes for Kids Montessori Activity Worksheets

When children play to sort objects by size, colors, shapes, function, etc., they develop their logical thinking. This game develops the necessary skills needed to start learning more complex mathematical concepts. Please, bear in mind that when we talk about maths, we are not just speaking about numbers, as in addition and subtraction. It is also about strengthening skills that will favor maths and the necessary skills in children’s development areas.

When children classify, they identify the objects’ similarities and differences, taking into account the shapes, sizes, and colors. One of the most common classifications children make involves colors, which is why colors are so important at this time of learning. That’s because colors create remembrance. The environment offers a large number of them, and children are daily engaged with them. As with mathematics, colors are part of everyday life, even if you are not aware.

The Montessori method speaks about the importance of concrete learning based on reality. Children can only achieve this learning if they take each sense into account. This means that mathematics is not learned by writing in a notebook; it is discovered by manipulating objects, experimenting through the senses, and not memorizing things.
