Five Great Lessons/Cosmic Education and Peace Manual A well-loved tradition in the Montessori elementary environment, the Five Great Lessons are a series of five stories that give students an overall impression of the grand topics of the universe, the earth, and life on earth. Helping to answer the questions of “why?” and “how?” that are so important to elementary-age students, these stories form the heart of the Montessori integrated elementary curriculum. The activities associated with the lessons encourage the Montessori teacher to present each lesson with wonder and drama, sparking the students’ interest in each topic and inspiring them to learn more. Closely related to the Five Great Lessons is the Cosmic Education and Peace curriculum. Cosmic education is Dr. Montessori’s concept based on the idea of the interdependence and interconnectedness of living things.
Montessori believed that children who are exposed to a cosmic education have a clearer understanding of the natural world and their place in it. There is a profound connection between cosmic education and peace. Through the activities in this manual, Montessori teachers help their students learn, practice, and develop the skills required to be peaceful citizens of the world. Advanced Practical Life Manual Traditionally presented in the Montessori early childhood environment, practical life activities can also offer older children distinct benefits. NAMC’s Advanced Practical Life curriculum manual offers a bridge between the hands-on activities of the early childhood environment and the increasingly abstract ideas presented in the elementary programs. The activities help elementary students develop and practice skills that benefit their work in other parts of the curriculum by increasing their level of concentration and fine motor skills, for example. Learning real-life skills such as gardening, cooking, making crafts, and organizing larger projects, the students also develop independence, social competence, and a sense of responsibility.
Language Arts Manual NAMC’s Language Arts curriculum manual builds on the strong foundation of the early childhood program, continuing the students’ work with Montessori materials such as the Grammar Symbols and introducing new materials such as the Grammar Boxes and Sentence Analysis Chart I. In addition to mastering the skills of writing, reading, and penmanship, students extensively explore word study, the mechanics of writing, and grammar to further enhance their understanding of language and their ability to communicate effectively.
Mathematics 2 – Fractions and Geometry Manual Mathematics 2 continues the students’ exploration of mathematical concepts, focusing on fractions and geometry. The students gain a thorough understanding of fractions and then learn how to perform operations involving fractions using Fraction Skittles, Fraction Circles, and other hands-on Montessori materials. The geometry activities also focus on presenting new and increasingly complex ideas through the manipulation of Montessori materials.
Concepts are presented in a concrete and sensorial manner through the use of a combination of familiar and new materials, including the Geometric Cabinet, Constructive Triangles, Geometry Sticks, Geometric Solids, and more. Physical Geography Manual NAMC’s Lower Elementary Physical Geography curriculum manual builds on the knowledge students developed in the early childhood program, moving from a concrete to a more abstract understanding of our planet. Students study the earth’s physical environment and the processes that form its features through the study of maps, the earth and the sun, the atmosphere, the hydrosphere, and the lithosphere. Through their active exploration, students gain an appreciation of the world’s beauty, its fragile ecosystem, and the power of nature. Zoology Manual NAMC’s Zoology curriculum manual embraces Dr. Montessori’s understanding that elementary-age children have an increased interest in classification by focusing on activities that give students opportunities to explore animal classification.
Beginning with a holistic overview of the animal kingdom, the curriculum then progresses through more specific animal classifications, presenting the wonders of the animal world in an engaging and thought-provoking manner. The students are also encouraged to consider the connection between humans and animals and the interdependence of life. Botany Manual NAMC’s Botany curriculum manual nurtures the students’ fascination with nature through the exploration of plants and their functions. Through experimentation and activities, students learn that plants are a key component to sustaining life on earth and further their understanding of the important connection plants have to humans and animals. The final section of the manual presents microscopic study, introducing students to the wonders of organisms that can only be studied with the aid of a microscope. Health Sciences, Art and Music Manual Maria Montessori believed that a healthy mind, body, and spirit are essential elements for success on the universal path of progress and development.

The Art and Music section of this manual serves as a valuable resource for the Montessori educator to build imaginative, artistic projects into their curriculum and to inspire children to explore their own creativity as a means of expression.
