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

AN APPLICATION IN SUBSEQUENT COURSES

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
