This book is part of The Math Institute series and is no longer available for purchase.
We recognize the important role it has played in supporting educators and adolescents in their mathematical development. While this title is no longer in print, the core concepts and experiences introduced here continue to live within the broader arc of the series.
Continue the Series: You can continue exploring this work through the available titles below:
Teaching Algebra to the Adolescent: A Montessori Approach, Vol. 1 Video Lesson Series
Teaching Algebra to the Adolescent: A Montessori Approach, Vol. 2
Teaching Geometry to the Adolescent: A Montessori ApproachTeaching Arithmetic to the Adolescent: A Montessori Approach
These materials build on and extend the ideas introduced in this volume, supporting a cohesive and connected learning experience.
Dr. Montessori writes about the "three legged stool" of arithmetic, algebra, and geometry. The focus of adolescent mathematics is mainly in algebra, but geometry and arithmetic should not be ignored and will be discussed in this volume and those following. In practice, the three branches of mathematics are closely related and should be used together.
The topics in this book are a summary of key lessons and are organized to demonstrate what needs to be presented to adolescents for the understanding of the algebra portion of a mathematics program. This is not a textbook. It is simply a set of lessons based on Montessori elementary materials which has been uniquely adapted and expanded for the adolescent.
