🍏 Teaching Tip from a Montessori Guide

Pattern matching is more complex than simple picture matching because children must focus on design elements rather than just recognizing an object. This cognitive skill—noticing details within a design—builds the foundation for math patterns, reading comprehension, and scientific observation.
