Early Montessori Math Materials, Montessori Math At Home

My husband made this box for us, and we filled it with extra bead bars that I purchased.  I have since purchased the Bead Decanomial from Kid Advance. This box will serve is us well to borrow from for other materials. I will also use it for the checker board, and just remove the ten bars.  I saw no need in our case to purchase both.



Addition with the Teens Boards. I laid out a bead bar for each number, and his challenge was to find the missing bars.  He was counting the difference on his fingers.  He loves the Seguin Boards, and is always looking for a new (to him) activity for them.

Multiplication Bead Board.  He was sweet with this. He loved setting up the board, and after a few problems insisted on presenting it to me 💕
 These are the dice I purchased from a teaching resource store.  I like them because they are over sized and Xander finds them very interesting.  He rolls the dice to create simple problems to solve. The dice in this case have addition and subtraction.

 I thought I would show these to you because they are so inexpensive and work so well. I found these plastic shot glasses at a party supply store.  They work perfectly for our golden unit beads.

We decided to make a selection of problem slip sheets for recording.  Basically colour coded boxes. The large over sized slips are amazing early on.  We also use the sheets below these for various activities.  I did do all of our slips from Unit to 1000, as every time he uses them it also becomes an exercise in place value.


I hope you are enjoying your early math activities                                     at home!
