I still remember the early days of trying to bring Montessori math into our home. My son was so curious and hungry to learn… constantly asking questions, noticing patterns, and exploring numbers in the world around him. I could see his potential and I wanted to give him the best possible start.

So I did what most of us do when we want to support our children: I started researching. I fell in love with the Montessori philosophy and how beautifully it respected a child’s natural way of learning. I read blogs, watched videos, saved Pinterest ideas, and started collecting materials. Sandpaper numbers. Number rods. Golden beads. Bead chains. Stamp game. You name it… I’d probably bought it.

I was trying so hard, but something still wasn’t right.
Those gorgeous materials stayed untouched on the shelf.

It wasn’t that my son wasn’t interested in maths… he loved numbers. The problem was that I didn’t know how to introduce Montessori math in a way that actually made sense. I didn’t know which materials to start with, what came next, or how each activity built on the last. Everything I found online felt scattered, incomplete, or confusing. I understood the “what,” but not the “why” or “when.”

And that’s when I discovered one of the most important truths about Montessori:

Montessori materials don’t teach: the guide does.
The material is only as powerful as the way it is presented.

Once I understood that, everything changed.

The Missing Piece: A Clear Path

Years later, I finally did what had been on my heart for years… I trained to become a certified Montessori educator. During my 3–6 diploma course, Montessori math finally clicked for me. It wasn’t random. It wasn’t complicated. In fact, it was the most logical, beautiful progression of learning I had ever seen.

Children go on a journey:

1. From quantity to symbol

2. From concrete to abstract

3. From understanding to confidence

And every Montessori math material plays a specific role in that journey.

Once I could finally see the complete roadmap, I didn’t feel lost anymore. I didn’t feel like I was guessing. I could finally guide instead of hope for the best.

That’s Why I Created the Montessori Math Cheatsheet

I don’t want you to spend years piecing things together the hard way like I did. This one-page printable gives you the clarity you need to support your child with confidence.

Here’s what you’ll find inside:

• The Montessori math sequence from counting to abstraction

• The five key groups of math learning

• When to introduce each concept

• A clear roadmap so you always know what’s next

Whether you’re just getting started with Montessori or you’ve already begun and feel stuck, this cheatsheet will give you the clarity you’ve been missing.

Montessori Works, And Here’s Why

Montessori builds deep mathematical understanding instead of surface-level memorisation. Children don’t just learn answers — they understand how numbers work.

With the right guidance, your child will:

• Build strong number sense

• Develop confidence working with place value

• Understand the meaning behind math operations

• Move naturally toward abstract thinking

• Actually enjoy learning

Who This Is For

This cheatsheet is perfect for you if:

• You want to support your child’s learning at home without overwhelm

• You love Montessori but want to understand the math sequence clearly

• Your child is curious and bright, and you want to nurture that

• You believe learning should be joyful and meaningful

Ideal for ages 2.5 to 7 (and also helpful for older children who need hands-on reinforcement before abstraction).
