Montessori distance learning courses are designed for continuing education in the field of child education. These programs help to develop excellent teaching credentials and provide extensive practical training in Montessori education. These days, most comprehensive distance learning programs are available for aspiring Montessori teachers worldwide.
Montessori distance learning programs include Montessori methodology and practice, five of the most important ideas in Montessori education, how to prepare the Montessori environment, how to prepare yourself as a Montessori caregiver, communicating with young children the Montessori way. Some programs also offer contemporary ideas to supplement Montessori methodology. The combination of the ideas past and present can truly enrich a child's educational and social experiences.
Montessori Education Overview
Distance education allows you the freedom of studying and submitting your course work at your own pace without disrupting your current job, leisure activities or family life. Comprehensive curriculum manuals support distance learning programs. Instructional materials and support systems like CD, DVDs and online access to educational video presentations guide you step-by-step through each and every lesson.
Generally, Montessori distance learning programs are divided into different levels. Infant or Toddler Program is for the children under 3 years of age. Pre-school or Kindergarten is for the children in 3 to 6 years age group. Elementary or Diploma program is designed for the children in the 6 to 9 years age bracket. These programs cover all the critical stages of development. Some institutions offer Elementary Montessori Environments programs for 9 to 12 years old children.

Why Some Math Formulas Shall be Memorized
By: Frank Ho | 25/11/2009Shall math formulas be memorized by students? Many times we hear the answer is either YES or NO and both these answers are absolutely wrong. If the answer is “yes” then it seems to imply that all formulas learned from grade 1 to grade 12 shall be remembered, this is a wrong way of teaching math. In contrast if the answer is “no” then it means students are not required to remember anything and in this case what is the consequence if students do not bother to remember any formulas?

Piano Learning Program - Rocket Piano
By: Sally Jensen | 24/11/2009Many people have learned to play the piano through various methods. The most common would be to learn under a supervision of a professor, a teacher or an instructor.

How To Find A Math Tutor
By: Frank Ho | 23/11/2009Let's face it. Math tutor does not need a license to teach (at least in North America). So anyone with some kind of degree can claim to be a well qualified math tutor and the consequence, sometimes, is poor kids suffered since they can not judge if they have been taught in the correct way or not. I have written other articles to point out some problems on how some math tutors have taught math concepts or math algorithms in a very ineffective way.
Sudoku Chess Puzzles Spark Children’s Math Interest
By: Frank Ho | 23/11/2009I have observed that one of the main reasons that children hate math is they have not mastered the foundation of math, surprisingly the root of problems can be traced to the basics they learned in the elementary grades such as addition, subtraction, multiplication or division.

How to Use Chess to Improve Math
By: Frank Ho | 23/11/2009Some math educators seem to feel math problems can be divided into 2 parts, one is pure computation and the other is problem solving - this claim is evident by examining the textbooks used in schools. When looking at the worksheets offered for elementary students, this seems to be very logic since there is “nothing” could be related to numbers used in the computational problems to enhance thinking ability.
The Future Trend of Math Learning Center
By: Frank Ho | 23/11/2009Will the way of math teaching change in the future? I think so, especially in the elementary schools. The idea of just giving traditional math worksheets to children for them to work on and expect them to do math well will become an increasingly unpopular method of teaching math. It is boring and it is not what children wanted and children had never given any choices as to what kinds of worksheets they wanted, they were simply told to work on them.
