COLOUR CODING

Colour coding I suggest is based on what I have been introduced to during my course in Montessori Centre International. However, you can use any colour coding that suits you as long as it is consistant across your setting.

Plant Kingdom

All information about plants is to be mounted on green card. Different shades of green could be used for plants, trees, flowering and non-flowering plants.

Animal Kingdom

Protozoa – white
Porifera – mustard
Coelenterate – orange
Annelida – beige
Mollusca – grey
Arthropoda – yellow
Echinodermata – black
Chordata – dark blue

Chordata is subdivided into classes of animals with backbones    
Fish – light green   
Amphibians – purple    
Reptiles – brown   
Birds – pale blue   
Mammals – red 

Continents

Europe – red
Asia - yellow
Africa – green
Australasia – brown
North America – orange
South America – pink
Antarctica – white

Solar System

Planets – black
Structure of the Earth – black
Structure of a volcano – black

CONTROLL OF ERROR

A way of providing instant feedback. Every Montessori activity provides the child with some way of assessing his own
progress. This puts the control in the hands of the child and protects the child’s self-esteem and self-motivation. Control of error is an essential aspect of auto-education.
- Card type materials i.e. pairing or classification cards can have the same mark (dot, star, etc) on the back.
- Picture and object for pairing can also have the same mark.     
- Control card in terminology cards and
lifecycles and animal families acts as control of error.
