Indeed, children are always fascinated by many things around them during their first years of life. Children often tend to hold, grasp, and reach for surrounding objects. Understanding this, Montessori’s learning tools are fully applied to exploit children’s natural curiosity and encourage children to explore the world on their own via hands-on experiences. 

Montessori materials are innovative hands-on learning tools that are designed to stimulate the youngsters’ brains. So, what part do these learning aids play in the IMA’s education? 

  • Hands-On Learning: Each material breaks down one key concept into easy-to-understand steps that kids can learn via hands-on inquiry. The design is based on real-life things to ensure that children receive a complete learning experience. For example, children can practice housecleaning by using a small hand-held broom which is designed as a real broom.
  • Error Control: Montessori materials have a built-in “control of error” that is self-evident. For example, a cylindrical block will not fit into a circular hole, water is replaced with a solid material, and the blocks are color-sorted for simple identification. This characteristic enables children to recognize their own mistakes and uncover learning outcomes. 
  • Progression Order: Montessori materials are arranged following the philosophy and are displayed in progression order, from easiest to hardest. This logical sequence provides children with a clear path to learning at their own pace. 
  • Auto Instructional: Montessori materials are designed to be used without the help of an adult. This allows children to develop independence and a passion for exploring and learning in the most natural way. 

In short, Montessori materials play a critical role in the comprehensive development of children by providing practical lessons that they can learn with their own hands.
