In the Montessori 3-6 classroom, children learn about geography through hands-on activities and materials. These activities and materials help children to explore the physical and cultural features of the world. For example, children may use a map puzzle to learn about the continents and oceans, or use a globe to explore the different countries and their cultures. They may also use a variety of materials such as sandpaper maps, land and water forms, and flags to learn about the physical features of the world. Through these activities, children gain an understanding of the world and its people.
