As with all things Montessori, students begin with the concrete and move to the abstract.

When learning geography, students first develop an understanding that the earth is a round globe, made up of land and water.

They then manipulate the shape of each continent before addressing its name and location.Montessori: Map Work introduces readers to the seven continents via textured edges to trace with their fingers, modes of transportation between each one for spatial context, and illustrated native animals for relevant and meaningful associations.

Young children will absorb the age-appropriate geography and gain a better sense of their place in the world.

Which state — known as the "Golden State" — has trees that grow up to 300 feet high?

Which East Coast state contains a re-creation of an authentic nineteenth-century sailing village? And which state leads all others in growing oranges?

You'll find the answers to these questions and many others in this exciting coloring book spotlighting each of the 50 states.

The Cat in the Hat introduces beginning readers to maps–the different kinds (city, state, world, topographic, temperature, terrain, etc.).

Readers also learn their formats (flat, globe, atlas, puzzle); the tools we use to read them (symbols, scales, grids, compasses); and funny facts about the places they show us (“Michigan looks like a scarf and a mitten! Louisiana looks like a chair you can sit in!”).
