Design Patterns

Along with my ongoing literature review and examination of Montessori classrooms and materials I am developing Montessori design patterns for use in development of various aspects of the Montessori environment, including educational software.  The papers below contain my work in this area to date.

• Montessori Design Patterns

• Colored Sectors:  Applying a Montessori Design Pattern to the Problem of Angle Representation

• Mining Montessori Design Patterns

• Circular Reasoning: Applying Montessori Design Patterns to Development of Software that Supports Explorations in Geometry for Elementary School Children

Applications of the patterns can be found in the papers above and also on the Lesson Ideas page.
