Cultivating Dharma http://www.freemontessori.org Materials of a Montessori Teacher Mon, 03 May 2010 05:00:40 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 Checkerboard Software http://www.freemontessori.org/?p=107 http://www.freemontessori.org/?p=107#comments Mon, 03 May 2010 04:56:44 +0000 jonathan http://www.freemontessori.org/?p=107 My software development efforts have been in full swing lately and I am really excited about where it is going. Just finished an Alpha version of the Checkerboard for the Virtual Montessori Project. Go here to use the software for free. It is a barebones version right now and assumes prior knowledge of the real thing. I hope to soon add directions to this software to be more helpful. In the meantime, however, use my albums available here. The Math 1 album has directions for the Bead Frame and the Checkerboard.

This version has also fixed several spelling errors. It prints out on 36 pages of letter sized paper. Sorry for the size – it’s 9.1 MB.

As with everything else on this website, you will need the most up to date version of the free Adobe Reader – www.adobe.com
