The Advanced Montessori Method, Volume II

The Advanced Montessori Method, volume II, formerly known as The Montessori Elementary Material, introduces the reader to the materials and techniques Maria Montessori devised for teaching older children. In seven separate sections she applies her unique materials to the teaching of grammar, reading, arithmetic, geometry, drawing, music, and poetic metrics. Among the materials illustrated are the grammar boxes, the bead number cubes built into a tower, the hollow geometrics solids, and the designs for indicating the intervals of the musical scales. The book shows how these materials speak directly to the child's curiosity and lead to a step-by-step self-mastery of the fundamentals of elementary school learning.
