Learning at Home Resources – Elementary

Facebook Group

For those of you on Facebook, there’s a wonderful group called “Montessori Elementary at Home During School Closure: Parent Support.” Its members share ideas, advice, suggestions, print/make at home Montessori materials, etc. I highly recommend joining this group!

Math
  • Khan Academy is an excellent math resource. You can search for lessons based on age, or subject. Though it is not Montessori, it provides students with the ability to learn at their own pace and follow their interests.
  • Math Fact Cafe is a good website for generating worksheets – from math practice to money and clock time.
Science

Geography

In the classroom we use salt dough to make maps of continents and their geographical features (rivers, mountains, mountain ranges, lakes). This would replace step 4. below. After the map is dried students can use paint to color in their features.
