Math

One of Maria Montessori's quotes that influence me the most with regarding math is "a mathematical mind is a mind which is built up with exactity".  Heavily influenced by Pascal, she expressed the belief that in the early stages of mathematical exposure must focus on finding identity, similarity, differences, and patterns.  As a result, we use sensorial tools to help expose our littles to order and sequence.  In addition we also use more traditional count and number recognition games and tasks.
