Geography

Geography is part of the Montessori framework that connects a child to their world and nature.

In a Montessori classroom, geography is an important area of learning that helps children develop an understanding of the world around them. The approach to teaching geography in Montessori is hands-on, sensory-driven, and encourages exploration. One of the key methods in Montessori geography is the use of colored continent maps, which are a central part of the curriculum. The world map is often divided into continents, with each continent represented by a specific color. These color-coded maps are used to help children identify and distinguish between the continents more easily, making the world feel more accessible and organized. The idea of using different colors for the continents helps children visualize and internalize global geography.
