Once a child reaches the age of six, they are ready to broaden their horizons, to reach out and encompass their universe. They are no longer satisfied to take the world for face value.
They are inquisitive, wanting to know why behind all they see, seeking to understand the role all they come into contact with plays in the total scheme of things.
Building upon their insatiable desire to understand, the Montessori environment creates numerous opportunities in geography, science, history, language and math for the student to truly understand the why.
It is important for the child at this stage in their development, as well as for the foundation of academic understanding they are building, that they come to the reasoning behind what might be otherwise merely memorized and forgotten knowledge.
Use of the Montessori materials aids the child in this very process and it is with the development of these materials that Maria Montessori concretely showed her genius to the world.
