Ava's grandma purchased this math work for her. It's very Montessori because it gives the child something to put in their hand to add and subtract. We have started doing addition with Ava and she understands the concept rather well. Here is a video of Ava giving addition a try. (Also, Ava knows what the number 11 looks like but the numbers are all single digits with this work. And don't mind my 1 year old constantly saying "me" haha She wanted to do the work too!)
The typical way a Montessorian would explain addition is by taking two small numbers to make one big number. An example of the language we use would be:
4 "together with" 3 "makes" 7.
Can't see the video 😔. We bought the same thing for Kanani and she really likes it.
