Nomenclature cards are one of the most basic Montessori resources available when teaching language concepts to children.  

It only seems natural that we would provide them to go along with our amazing language bundles.

The FREE Montessori Language Green Series Nomenclature Cards are just the latest set we've created to help you help your child learn about long vowel sounds and phonograms.

FREE Montessori Language Green Series Nomenclature Cards

The FREE Montessori Language Green Series Nomenclature Cards are designed to compliment the Montessori-inspired Advanced Language Bundle in Print.

The free product includes 100 nomenclature cards.

For each rule included there is a matching pair of cards.

Example: Cake and snake follow the same a_e rule.

Long vowel sound combinations and phonograms within each word are printed in red so they stand out, matching the red and black Montessori movable alphabets.

How to Use the FREE Montessori Language Green Series Nomenclature Cards

Once you have downloaded your free printable, print cards and cut cards. 

If you are using cards in true nomenclature style, be sure to keep the words and pictures together on one set of cards. The other set of cards has the pictures and words separated. 

Present the picture and word card, then have the child find the separate picture and word cards that match.

I highly recommend not introducing all of these cards at once, unless they are being used for review. Divide them in groups to match what advanced language concepts you are working on.

Montessori-inspired Advanced Language Bundle

The FREE Montessori Language Green Series Nomenclature Cards are designed for use with the Montessori-inspired Advanced Language Bundle.

If you've been looking for  a resource to help your students learn phonograms and long vowel sounds, this is it! 

It includes 100 words, two per rule included. Each word is then broken down into three three parts, focusing on the beginning, middle and ending sounds, with several activities to reinforce each concept.

This bundle helps children read, write, and spell advanced language/green series words.

Advanced Montessori Green Series Sentence Challenges

If you're looking for even more ways to reinforce and practice advanced language and green series skills, the Advanced Montessori Green Series Sentence Challenges are perfect!

The sentence challenges help kids with punctuation, spelling and so much more, while reinforcing advanced language and green series concepts.

School started back up for us this week. First on our list of new math content to conquer is fractions.  We're starting out with the most basic concepts and progressing slowly so no one gets lost along the way.

These Montessori-inspired Introduction to Fractions Activities have been a huge hit!

The Montessori Fraction Skittles, Montessori Fraction Circles and Stands have been a great help when teaching fraction concepts and are so attractive to students.  They can't keep their hands off of them.  Lol.

If you don't have these materials, don't fret!  

We've created a Montessori-inspired Intro to Fractions Printable Pack that provides you with everything you need to teach an introduction to fractions and more!  It's being debuted in this post so you can see exactly what it includes and why we love it so much.

Montessori-inspired Intro to Fractions Printable Pack

The Montessori-inspired Intro to Fractions Printable Pack is 107 pages long.  

It is designed using the Montessori fraction colors.

This resource helps transition students through every step of understanding fractions.  

The printable pack includes resources that can be used with all of the fraction circles.  

Every fraction from 1/1 to 10/10 is included.

Montessori-inspired Introduction to Fractions Activities

After cutting, printing, and introducing all of the fabulous resources in the Montessori-inspired Intro to Fractions Printable Pack I realized that the presentation of these printables on our shelves was going to make a HUGE difference in who selected the work from our math shelves.

Some of my kiddos become very overwhelmed when they see a huge stack of cards.  A huge stack of cards on a shelf, even in a cute basket, is a guaranteed way to ensure my kiddos won't choose the work.

So I went a different route and created fraction boxes using the adorable little drawers you can see in pictures.  When Sunshine saw them for the first time she named them the fraction "treasure" boxes.  That's what they've been called in our house ever since.  Needless to say she absolutely loves them.

Each box contains fraction printables related to each fraction circle minus the 1/1 fraction of course.

Fraction "Treasure" Boxes for Kids

The first day Sunshine used the fraction materials, she selected the two part and three part fraction "treasure" boxes.  All of the images in this post reflect that.  The same materials can be found in all of the boxes all the way up to the ten parts box.

Creating Fractions Activity for Kids

The first thing Sunshine did when she brought the box to her work space (she selected a low table) was pull out the faction cards and use them with our fraction circles.

Fraction tickets with individual numbers and lines are included in the Montessori-inspired Intro to Fractions Printable Pack as well but I did not include them in our treasure boxes.  I only use them for lessons.

If you don't have fraction circles of your own do not worry!  The Montessori-inspired Intro to Fractions Printable Pack includes a set you can print out.

You have two options.

The first set is colored red, ready for you to print, cut out etc.

The second set is black and white.  You can purchase red card stock to save ink when printing or have your students create their own set of fractions using markers, crayons, or colored pencils.

The black and white fractions also provide you with the opportunity to use different colors for each fraction if you feel this would help your child during the learning process.

Contents of the Montessori Fractions "Treasure" Box

Once Sunshine finished with the fraction cards she decided to dump out all of the contents in the box.  At first I was a little bit nervous about her strategy but followed her lead. I'm so glad I did.

Sorting Materials in the Montessori Fractions "Treasure" Box

She wanted to look through every "treasure" in her box and then started sorting them by fraction.  

Every child is different in how they'll complete the contents of each box.  

Boxes for fractions with fewer parts will include less content than boxes for fractions with more parts.

Organizing Contents in the Montessori Fractions "Treasure" Box

This picture was taken about half way through the process.  You'll notice the fraction cards, nomenclature cards, clip cards, and color in the fraction cards.  I included red glass beads for the clip cards as well.

Coloring Fraction Circles

When Sunshine finished sorting the various fraction activities, she colored her fraction cards using the corresponding fraction circle as her control, and added it to the bottom of each fraction column.

I was so impressed with how quickly Sunshine picked up the idea of fractions.  She has asked to complete a new "treasure" box every day and is rocking each one.

Equal or Not Equal Parts Red Fraction Clip Cards

Also included in the Montessori-inspired Intro to Fractions Printable Pack are Equal and Not Equal Parts Red Fraction Clip Cards.

I have not introduced these to Sunshine yet, but have used them with my older kiddos, who love them.  They sit in their own basket on our Montessori shelves.

I did not include them in our fraction "treasure" boxes as they are not specific to number fractions.

Fraction Word Match Up Strips

Another activity included in the Montessori-inspired Intro to Fractions Printable Pack is the Fraction Word Match Up Strips. 

I did not include the Fraction Word Match Up Strips in the treasure boxes for two reasons.  

First, some of my kiddos still can't read. I wanted to make sure that everyone could complete every activity in the boxes.  

Second, at full size as they do not fit in the boxes I purchased.  If you're able to shrink the word strip pages so that you can print two pages to one, they would work perfectly.

I can't wait to use these in the future when everyone is reading.

As you can see we are having a blast with the Montessori-inspired Intro to Fractions Printable Pack.

It has been the perfect resource for my Montessori preschool and elementary kiddos.

Lucky for you this fabulous resource is debuting this month which means you can get it on sale!
