Montessori Independent Work Bundle for Ages 5–7 | Math, Reading, Grammar & Geography
Montessori Independent Work Bundle for Ages 5–7 Need meaningful work your children can actually complete independently while you are giving a lesson to someone else? One of the biggest challenges in a Montessori classroom, homeschool or mixed-age setting is having enough purposeful work available for children who are not currently working with you. You want them to be independent — but you also do not want to hand them random worksheets just to keep them busy. This Montessori Independent Work Bundle for Ages 5–7 gives you a ready-to-use collection of maths, reading, grammar and geography activities that can be introduced, placed on the shelf and returned to again and again. At a Glance Age: Approximately 5–7 years Includes: 17 printable resources Curriculum Areas: Maths, Reading, Phonics, Grammar and Geography Perfect for: Montessori classrooms, homeschool, mixed-age classes, intervention and independent shelf work What Is Included?

Another child has finished their work. Someone else needs something appropriate to choose from the shelf. And suddenly your individual lesson has become a lesson for everyone. This bundle helps reduce those interruptions by giving children a bank of familiar activities they can learn to manage more independently. Once an activity has been presented, children can return to it for repetition, practice and mastery — helping build both academic skills and the independence that sits at the heart of Montessori education. Different Children. Different Levels. A group of 5–7-year-olds rarely works at one level. One child may still be matching CVC words while another is reading sentences. One may be working concretely with Golden Beads while another is confidently identifying number patterns on the Hundred Board. This bundle gives you a range of activities so you can choose work that matches the child rather than expecting every learner to complete the same task. Why Teachers and Homeschoolers Will Find This Useful Creates a bank of meaningful independent work Supports mixed-age and mixed-ability groups Provides follow-up after Montessori presentations Reduces the need to constantly prepare new activities Supports repetition without relying on busy work Works well for shelf work, centres, early finishers and rotations Allows you to focus on individual and small-group lessons Perfect For Montessori ages 3–6 classrooms with older children Lower elementary Montessori classrooms Kindergarten, Year 1 and Year 2 Montessori homeschool Mixed-age classrooms Children who benefit from visual and hands-on learning Literacy and maths intervention Independent work stations Less Time Finding Work. More Time Teaching. Building a strong independent-work shelf takes time. You need enough variety to maintain interest, enough repetition to support mastery and activities that children can realistically learn to manage on their own. This bundle gives you 17 Montessori-inspired resources in one collection, helping you create a broader, more useful independent-work environment without buying or preparing each activity separately.
