Addition Jigsaws & Pegs

I got this idea from a friend of mine and I've seen this activity in the classroom. The jigsaw pieces are from Penneys and the pegs are from a local pound shop. I love the colourful pegs and the children seem to love them too. I know the pegs will come in handy for different exercises too!

One of the reasons I like these jigsaws is because they have their own in built control of error (as most Montessori materials should have), you can notice that each piece has a different shaped edge and only the correct answer will fit into the sum. I know its not your typical Montessori addition exercise but its something a bit different and I've seen the children spend time using it.

Here it is in a basket, ready for the shelf. The box of jigsaws also comes with subtraction jigsaws.

Welcome

Hello and welcome to my first blog! My plan is to share my ideas and thoughts about Montessori education and activities. I'm a student studying Montessori Education at the moment. Montessori has really changed my life. It has changed my whole perspective on life especially when it comes to the way I view the children in my life! For any parent I would encourage they send their child to a Montessori school. Their little minds are amazing and Montessori gives them the best start in life for their "ABSORBENT MINDS". It sows the seed of curiosity that will help them learn as they grow! And learn without even knowing they're learning!!!
