The Montessori Elementary Material: The Advanced Montessori Method is an extension of Maria Montessori’s educational philosophy, specifically designed for the elementary school level. This work focuses on the advanced materials and techniques Montessori developed to support older children, continuing the principles established in her earlier works but adapted for more complex intellectual engagement. Montessori stresses that the same methods used in early childhood can be adapted to meet the growing needs of elementary-aged children, fostering their curiosity, independence, and critical thinking.The book outlines the various materials and activities used in the Montessori elementary curriculum, including advanced exercises in mathematics, language, geography, and science. Montessori emphasizes the importance of teaching abstract concepts through concrete, hands-on materials that allow children to explore and internalize ideas through their own experiences. This approach encourages a deeper understanding of subjects and nurtures problem-solving skills.
