Abstract/Notes: This systematic literature review and content analysis was conducted to ascertain what research from different countries have found regarding the development of environmental awareness in the early years. Environmental awareness in the context of this study speaks to an understanding of the symbiotic relationship of the different entities coexisting within the environment. Research has shown that as children’s environmental knowledge increases, their personal attitudes are modified to more pro-environmental ways. Environmental awareness, over time, may also support children to develop a sense of identity that goes beyond the individual and encompasses how they see themselves as living cohesively as part of the environment through socialization and experience. This systematic literature review and content analysis explored what programs and practices exist in different parts of the world that engage children in various activities in biodiverse places, to support the development of their environmental awareness, which is based on their geographical location, culture, and socialization. To determine how children are supported as they develop their environmental awareness, this content analysis reviewed 80 articles from 15 countries. The findings of this systematic content analysis revealed that research from 15 countries across the world embrace the discourse of early childhood environmental education, but with different foci and objectives. These differences are sometimes determined based on social interactions, family values, community norms, national curricula, geographical locations, and culture. This systematic content analysis also revealed that young children can recognize interdependency and develop relationships with other-than-humans within the environment through programs such as nature schools, place-based education, forest schools, and other kindergarten programs. This recognition enables children to honour themselves as humans to survive and to become mindful of the needs of other entities within the environment and of the need to exist interdependently. Through programs and practices as revealed by the systematic content analysis children can deepen their environmental awareness, see themselves as part of the environment, and perhaps can then go on to participate in decision-making and action initiatives to sustain and support the environment.

Abstract/Notes: The purpose of this qualitative study was to identify the benefits that math manipulatives offer in Montessori and traditional environments in order to highlight the strengths of each setting and learn from each other. Both traditional and Montessori teachers were interviewed using a narrative inquiry framework to gather information about their use of math manipulatives in their classrooms. This process brought attention to areas of need and the impact of manipulatives on student learning. Based on the research and the interview data, math manipulatives are beneficial in the Montessori setting. The Montessori math manipulatives allow the child to go from concrete to abstract, they are color-coded, repetitive across grade levels, and presented to the child based on their stage of development. A pictorial inventory of the elementary math manipulatives and their purpose is included in Appendix A. The data showed evidence suggesting there are critical needs that would improve student learning in mathematics. The results proved that we, as Montessorians, need to make more connections between the language and the manipulatives to check for understanding of concepts and standards; we need to be intentional when using observation as a tool to collect data; we need do more regular assessments, and finally, we need to supplement traditional materials where there are manipulatives missing in the Montessori math curriculum. This study provides initial evidence that there are clear benefits of using math manipulatives in the Montessori setting, but there are also changes that need to be addressed to improve our teaching practices which would help our students develop their mathematical mind and mathematical learning.
