MME - Master List: Presentation Summaries
My desire
is to offer a Livable Learning plan for Montessori education. It is so overwhelming at first for most of us: learning
a whole new way of education; learning to observe and to follow our child; investigating materials and presentations; considering
the spiritual preparation of the teacher.... In our personal Montessori homeschooling adventure, I
have been working since 2003 to design homeschool-friendly materials and to simplify the write-ups of the basic
presentations. The following is the outline of my Livable Learning plan with materials groupings and links to adaptations
of the Montessori academic works.

Set 1: The Block Sets Set 2: The Cylinder Sets Set 3: Algebraic Puzzles Set 4: The Basic Senses
|
The most reasonable items to make yourself in the area of Sensorial Basics are the materials for the Basic Senses
which I have designed as a set of two organized tackle boxes containing the following materials:
Color Tablets,
Tactile Fabrics, Tactile Boards, Tactile Tablets, Thermic Bottles, Thermic Tablets, Baric Bottles, Baric Tablets, Smelling
Bottles, Tasting Bottles, Sound Boxes & Stereognostic Bags
|
The wooden Sensorial materials are foundational to a full comprehension of the Montessori Math materials. Unless you
know skilled woodcrafter, it is vital that the following items be commercially purchased simply because their measurements
must be precise, and I highly recommend the following Sensorial items with an estimated cost of $311. Block Sets:
Pink TowerBrown StairRed Rods Cylinder Sets: Knobbed Cylinders Knobless CylindersAlgebraic Puzzles: Binomial Cube Trinomial CubeYou may also choose to utilize other Sensorial-friendly materials shown at our Sensorial shopping pages.
|
Sensorial II: Geometry & Fractions - Planes & Solids
|
Set 1: Geometric Solids Set 2: Geometry Cabinet & Cards Set 3: Constructive Triangles Set 4: Circles,
Squares, Triangles Set 5: Fraction Inserts
|
Most of the geometric plane and solid materials may be homemade. You will find the printable files for these materials
on our Hope4ME page.
|
When purchasing your Geometric Solids be sure to get a set that includes the ovoid and the ellipsoid. If possible it is also preferable to purchase the Geometric Cabinet - it is the first of many wooden puzzles the children will be using.
