About the Series
iWorldGeography applies self-teaching activity design to geography curriculum found in Montessori Children's House and Lower Elementary classrooms. The series was developed following three-year's observation in Lexington (MA) Montessori School Children's House classrooms, where TenSun's desktop version of this series has been a popular curriculum supplement since 2004.

American Montessori Society color palette matches existing classroom materials.
