The language for these are "longest" and "shortest;" not "largest" and "smallest."

I am a AMS Montessori trained teacher, and I understand that everyone has their own "twist" to presentations. Thank you for providing resources to parents. Even though you may present things differently than I, as long as you keep the child in mind..that's all that matters! Ba humbag to all the negative comments you have received thus far!

Thanks for these videos. I am so happy to see these videos. I like montessori method.

Is it possible for you to tag these videos according to skill level or part number so that its easier to find activities for a kid below 2 years. Above 2 years and so on etc. e.g. At the start I am going to try videos for fine motor skills ( scooping , cleaning etc. ) for my 16 month old. So they are basic level. Then will come colors and texture videos and so on. ...

Is this the right way to teach?

I do appreciate you taking the time to do these videos and some of my ways are alot different to yours but its interesting seeing how others do it.

I used to start with the longest rod untill once i had a child who couldnt understand why we then started with the shortest of the number rods so now i start with the smallest long rod and number rod.

If you do not know what the Montessori method is all about, might just as well keep quiet. We all have different points of view and seemingly you are more of a constructivist, letting the children explore and find their own ways and knowledge. But apparently, we all differ in our points of view and might as well at least respect other's opinion and philosophy. ;P

hold the ends with great care, what rubbish. Why can't they hold these little blocks with one hand if they want. Do we have to teach them how to hold a piece of wood. This is Momtessori silly time. Let th children find the best way to hold the blocks and build.
