An approach to María Montessori's teaching principles according to Maite Vallet

First stage: manipulation generates motivation in students and awakens their creativity

Second stage: the teacher establishes schemes for students to develop mathematical skills through verbalisation and socialisation

Third stage: development of abstraction through written language and mental processes

The process generates management of exercises and problems, generates cognitive conflicts in which they must give answers and solve their own mistales

Considered the first female educator of the 20th century

Creator of the Constructive Model of Education

Method focused on the study of the child and the role of the teacher

Proposal focused on sensory activities for a comprehensive education

The child's development influences their physical and emotional dependence

The freedom to feel and act influences the child's personal improvement

The programming of activities must be focused on obtaining the child's autonomy

Education is based on dealing with everyday situations that are influenced by their actions, feelings and decisions

Everyday actions become classroom activities so that they recognise what they need and where to look for it

Problem solving generates self-discipline by knowing what activity is most convinient and promoting the rules to solve it

In the morning

Greetings and preparation for the day

Literacy or math-logic activities

Mainly individual or small-group activities

Children must solve doubts by themselves or by collaborating

The educator is the last option for resolving problems

In the afternoon

Activities focused on sports, music and dramatisation

Learning through the enjoyment of the Ensligh language

Learn how to know themselves and the environment

Children development must be in freedom

The children' rhythms and differences must be respected

The child is the protagonist and the educator develops the conditions for their correct development

Children need to have schedules with the activities to be done in the day

Physical materials should be distributed to generate motivation and interest in the child

Teaching materials must be ordered according to the area to which they belong

To facilitate reading, there should be a suitable place for it within the class
