Life of Fred Mathematics
Life of Fred Mathematics books are great reading books with some practice for ways to apply mathematics to every day life.
As a supplement, they are great for a Montessori child looking for humor and applicability.
They could also be used in the adolescent years as a way of preparing for high school mathematics, while affirming the young adolescent's need for consolidation and applicability.

Business Math for Elementary Children
Simple Charlotte Mason - Your Business Math Series - Printed
Simply Charlotte Mason - Your Business Math Series - E-Book
Your Business Math is geared for 8-12 year olds; but with Montessori experience, a child could use it sooner OR it could be an excellent introduction into the business world for the older elementary or early adolescent student.
Or if you have an older student transitioning into elementary Montessori, this could be a good way to purge any math-phobia, make the subject applicable to their lives, while you are introducing the other areas of the Montessori elementary environment. Then delve into math slowly as the child becomes ready.
Adolescent children should be delving into economics, running their own real business; this program is an excellent introduction for them, given either in elementary or as soon as you consider Montessori for your adolescent.

Living Math
This site has great literature and games all related to mathematics, geometry, algebra and other math topics.
The focus is on experience, understanding and perspective --- and fits *perfectly* with Montessori elementary mathematics, geometry and algebra.
Indeed, if you have used Montessori elementary and now have an adolescent - continuing with the suggestions here and doing a study of history, would be perfect for the adolescent child. Even into high school!
The site owner also has a set of lesson plans for math history and skills called Living Math Through History
-- and she has a Yahoo group for folks to join for support and questions: LivingMathForum
You do NOT need to be using her lesson plans to be part of the group.
