Montessori Culture is a subject that covers several subjects.
One of them is the wonderful subject of Montessori Geography.
Children learn through many different ways, but young children learn best with visual and hands-on materials.
So, as you put together your Culture studies together and plan lesson and materials, keep this in mind.
In this post, we will be going into one Montessori inspired section of the Cultural curriculum that involves country flags.
This section is learning national flags of the world, so let’s get into this great discussion.

3-Part Cards are very popular in some Montessori circles.
This that haven’t gotten into them is because they don’t know how to use them or find the value in them.
Let me tell you: they are amazing and I am a big advocate of having 3-part cards in the Montessori classroom.
There are many reasons why, but I will only name a few:
- They..
- – save space because they are paper
- – are visual
- – are hands-on
- – have a control of error
