Zero to One

$50.00

Have you been frustrated by how easily fraction problems that are computationally straightforward exceed the capacity of the Montessori fraction materials?  Or by decimal problem sets that do nothing to reinforce the hierarchy of numbers?  Zero to One addresses this with brain-engaging follow-ups that lead children from impression to calculation AND allow them to stay connected with the materials until concepts are internalized!  (134 pages)

Click HERE to sneak a peek at a discussion of key aspects of teaching fraction and decimal identities and operations, a sample page from the Scope and Sequence, a sample operation review, and some sample problem and activity cards.

Note: photos show one way to create the materials: print. trim, mount on colored card-stock, and laminate. It is just as effective (and much quicker) to print on white card stock, cut, and place on the shelves.

How are these different from cards you may already have?

  • Activities and problems are optimized for implementation with concrete materials

  • Problem sets isolate the difficulty, progressively de-scaffolding support as the child progresses.

  • Activities are intentionally designed to reveal the nuances of operations, providing a systematic approach to finding solutions – no more guesswork or following algorithms by rote!
