Upper Elementary - Advanced Math The Cross Mulitplication Cards provide students a unique opportunity to approach large number multiplication using a different strategy than the traditional long multiplication method. Students mentally solve problems like 7,123 × 83,059 using the cross-multiplication technique, which emphasizes place value and pattern recognition. They then verify their answers using the Checkerboard material, bridging abstract computation with concrete learning. This process strengthens mental math skills, promotes independence, and deepens understanding of multiplication through a hands-on, self-correcting approach. #advancedmathforelementary #handsonlearning #placevalue #patternrecognition #abstractcomputation #concretelearing #selfcorrection #mentalmathskills #independence #tma #montessori #privateschool #arlingtontx #arlington #texas #infant #nido #toddler #earlychildhood #preschool #kindergarten #elementary #education #privateeducation #nontraditional #themontessoriacademyofarlington (fb)

Lower Elementary - Rhyming Word Study Rhyming Word Study supports early literacy by enhancing phonemic awareness, vocabulary development, and spelling through the exploration of word families. This engaging work helps students recognize sound patterns, which strengthens their reading fluency and auditory discrimination. To complete the activity, the student selects a rhyming word set and sorts the words that share the same sounds. They then record the rhyming pairs or use them in sentences to reinforce understanding. #wordstudy #literacy #vocabulary #spelling #readingfluency #auditorydiscrimination #handsonlearning #order #concentration #coordination #independence #tma #montessori #privateschool #arlingtontx #arlington #texas #infant #nido #toddler #earlychildhood #preschool #kindergarten #elementary #education #privateeducation #nontraditional #themontessoriacademyofarlington (fb)
