Psychoarithmetic: Arithmetic Developed Under the Guidelines Outlined by Child Psychology

Maria Montessori - Writings

See More

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: This experiment was based on the assumption that the academic failure of the disadvantaged or middle class child is due to a failure of instruction and that if above-normal learning schedules were maintained, the second year of an enrichment program would not show the customary drop in gains from the first year. The subjects of this study were 43 disadvantaged Negro and white 4-year-olds of high, middle, and low intelligence. Fifteen of the children were placed in an experimental group (I) and 28 in a control group (II). A 2-year program involving a group (III) of middle class 4-year-olds was also conducted, with a control group (IV) consisting of middle class 4-year-olds in a Montessori preschool. Groups I and III received a 2-year experimental program in which rapid attainment of basic academic concepts was emphasized. Group II received a 2-year traditional preschool education. Group I achieved significantly greater Stanford-Binet IQ gains than Group II and maintained them over the 2-year program. Group III children also benefited measureably from the program and demonstrated greater achievement in many areas than Group IV.

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.
