Hands On Homeschooling with Renee Schwartz
EPL Luttrell Room

Saturday, Apr. 28, 10 a.m. 

Renee Schwartz is back! Join her to learn about Montessori and Waldhoff educational techniques.
A Comparison of Mathematics in Montessori and Waldorf

In a workshop filled with time to test out hands-on learning materials and examine student work, participants will explore, discuss, and compare the Montessori and Waldorf approaches. 

We will begin with the Fifth Great Lesson, The Story of Numbers, then look closely at Montessori Mathematics materials for the Elementary classroom. Come see firsthand how Math can be presented in a lively, fun, and hands-on way using these beautiful European materials. The materials can also be used remedially with middle school students. More inspiration will come as we look at the Steiner/Waldorf scope and sequence of Mathematics and Geometry in the 1st through 8th grade years, and see how the students create a portfolio of wonderful handwritten books. Both methods use exciting techniques which can be adapted to the traditional classroom or homeschool environment, and are particularly helpful for teachers who differentiate instruction.
