Most of our math work (and Montessori work in general) comes from our Keys to the World albums. As a supplement, and because I love books, I also pick and choose various supplemental works from Math at Their Own Pace.
One of the lessons in that book is quantity matching cards, which recommends having 1 set of key cards and 3 sets of quantity cards using different objects. Apple and I have done this work a few times recently, but before we could, we needed appropriate materials. Since I haven’t introduced him to the number symbols yet (he’s just not that into it math yet—which is fine), I made Key cards that had both the number symbols and the quantity on them. And since it’s fall, I used some nice watercolors of natural objects that would be nicely countable.
I thought there might be other families out there looking for a simple and easy math works for introducing their children to quantities, so I figured I’d share this little pdf I made! To download it, simply click here, follow the download link, and enjoy,
Please leave me feedback if you use this download, and as always I’d love if you’d tag me in any photos of you using this material… I just love seeing other little ones at work and having fun learning!
Lots of love and best wishes on your learning journey!
