Abstract/Notes: Psychoarithmetic by Maria Montessori provides a view of the working of the human mind through the lens of exercises and study of mathematics (arithmetic, geometry, and algebra and their relationships), as well as applied mathematics in the form of measurement. The intention of the book, to forge a link between psychology and mathematics, is obvious from the title. The book demands that the reader attend to each and every detail while at the same time keeping in mind that all the details form part of the whole one is trying to understand. The book also pays homage to the people throughout the ages who have thought and found ways to solve their daily problems of living through mathematics. Yet without developing the mind through exploring mathematics, one cannot utilize these ideas. So the book is intended to be a handbook, for both children and adults, of how to help the mind develop in order to fulfil its potential.

Abstract/Notes: After the success of the first publications in which Maria Montessori introduced her mathematical and linguistic thinking, she devoted herself to the completion of a curriculum geared towards the Elementary level of education for children ages 6-12 years. During this phase of her research, she focused her attention on three key curricular areas: Psycho-geometry, Psycho-arithmetic, and Psycho-grammar, as she intentionally called them. These names followed her observations about how cognitive needs arise during the different phases of development. With their common prefix, psycho, Montessori’s intent was to highlight her way of understanding geometry, arithmetic, and grammar not only as disciplines to be taught but also as instruments to promote a child’s cognitive development. This chapter discusses the three books that resulted from this work: Psychogeometry, Psychoarithmetic, and Psychogrammar.
