Montessori Live is the first MACTE accredited Online Montessori Training Program. It is our mission to convenience the certification process through innovation, affordability, and flexibility.
Within the curriculum of our certification program we have thousands of instruction videos and it's our goal to someday be able to make the entire catalog free on RU-vid. In the meantime, we've got a lot of exciting developments planned and we'll be gradually releasing inspiring interviews with Montessori educators from around the world and more free lessons from our founder Dr. Kym Elder.

I loved listening to this discussion. I am a montessori homeschool mum. It's so nice to hear that things don't always work out when you copy what someone else has done. It's nice to know that it is not limited to those of us outside the classroom.
There are a number of Montessori materials companies that provide lesson plans for the curriculum. Our program uses Montessori Research and Development. A Google search for Montessori albums would get you there as well.
The numerals can be purchased from Neinhuis or Alison's Montessori. There are two sizes. I like the smaller size for the fractions and the larger size for whole numbers. The cut-out "holes" representing negative numbers are homemade from the craft foam pieces (I think that is what they are called) that can be purchased from a craft store.
Could you tell me the material you are using, or even better - a link to purchase it? Specifically the negative bead bars (colored bar cards with empty holes). Thank you!
Hi, The colored bead bars with holes are handmade from the colored craft foam you can buy at Michael's or a similar craft store. They are cut so that the holes are the same size as the colored beads to allow the student to place the colored bead bar on top of the holes. The length of the foam piece is the same as the beadier (including the wires so that the holes last, if that makes sense!) Thanks for your question. This material was initially developed by Harvey Hallenberg. I took my elementary training from him in the mid-nineties and have used these materials ever since! I hope that helps.
Hey Flavia, Are you referring to the automatic subtitles that RU-vid does on videos? If so, then that's a setting that anyone can adjust based on their personal account.
What age do you typically introduce the geometric solids. From Dr. Montessori's literature I garhered that I should give them to 12 and 24 month toddlers to get farmiliar with the dynamics of the shapes and learn to trace with their fingers. Is that correct?
It is possible to introduce these shapes to toddlers. At the 3-6 level, they are the first lesson in the study of geometry and can be introduced to children who are three years old. They are also used in the lower elementary level. .
@@MontessoriLive thanks for replying. I've read Dr. Montessori's material and a few other books, but I definitely don't really know what I'm doing. Do you have any videos on teaching 12 months- and 28 month olds? As well as must have learning materials for them?
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I have a question. Has the kid being introduced to the teens at this point? I assume he has but If not, how do you show the child, that 9+9=18? Do you say "1 and 8 make 18" ?
