Montessori materials are simple educational objects, usually made of wood, with a single clear purpose, designed to allow children to learn autonomously through interaction, sensory exploration and manipulation, promoting concentration, coordination and problem solving, without excessive electronic stimuli. They focus on the development of practical, sensory, mathematical, linguistic and cognitive skills, adapting to the child's developmental level, from 0 to 6 years and up to 12 years, especially for the curricular area "Mathematics".
The specific curriculum areas of Montessori education are:
- Infants/ Toddlers
