[quote=Anonymous]My son was doing 4th grade math (fraction operations, long division) in his kindergarten Montessori. I teach high school math, so maybe he always would have gravitated towards it—I’m not saying Montessori made him love it. The number sense it gave him as a foundation was incredible though. At 3 years old, he could tell me all the ways to make any multiple of 10. “Mommy, did you know that 50 is 45 plus 5, or 22 plus 28, or...” and list out a dozen more combinations. I honestly don’t know how they taught it other than bead chains and the hundreds board, but man—it worked for him![/quote]
