Maria Montessori determined through her observation that humans have a natural attraction to order and mathematics. In fact, one of the first tendencies is to put things in order. The normal tendency towards math motivates the child to observe, to contrast and compare, and then sort and group. Working with math and numbers does not start directly and immediately in the classroom, whereas the child is indirectly prepared for math through practical and sensorial activities. All of these activities and related movements slowly but surely provide the opportunities to be in order and precise.

The order in learning of math in our classroom:
•    Number from 1 to 10 follows the decimal system.
•    All four operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
•    There are activities to memorize facts e.g. 2+2= 4.
•    The stage of abstraction comes after all the concrete operation.
