About the Series
iWorldGeography applies self-teaching activity design to geography curriculum found in Montessori Children's House and Lower Elementary classrooms. The original series was developed based on three-year's observation in Lexington (MA) Montessori School Children's House classrooms, where TenSun's desktop version of this series was first used as a popular curriculum supplement in 2004.
The Series map colors match American Montessori Society classroom materials.
