Montessori Division

A few months ago, we began learning Montessori division. Montessori division starts very simply and assures that the child understands the concept of division. We began with the division board. She chose an equation from the box and began to divide! Simple.

After some practice using the division board, we began division using the golden beads. It is used in much the same way.

Division!

After a bit if practice, Kaylee finished a whole pile of division equations!

Kaylee loves math!

Doing a more complicated division problem. 


Then, she began dividing numbers into the thousands.

Dividing bigger numbers!
