Description :-
This Montessori material set is designed to introduce children to the concepts of addition, multiplication, and quantity relationships through a fun, hands-on activity. The set includes the following components:
1. Box 1: 5 sets of coloured bead bars (1-9)
These coloured bead bars represent the units from 1 to 9. Each set of bars corresponds to a specific number, allowing children to count and visualize the concept of quantities.
2. Box 2: 20 golden bead bars
These golden bead bars represent the number 10, and are used to help children understand
the concept of tens in addition, and also to develop an understanding of place value and decimal systems.
3. Box 3: A set of black and white bead bars (1-9)
The black and white bead bars are also numbered from 1 to 9 and are used to reinforce addition and quantity relationships in a contrasting color for better visual recognition and
clarity.
Addition Snake Game Set
1. Enhances Interest in Addition:
This material engages children in a fun and hands-on activity, improving their interest in addition while they work with colourful bead bars.
2. Memorizing Addition Facts:
The game format encourages children to practice and memorize addition facts in a playful way, reinforcing their understanding of basic arithmetic.
3. Understanding Combinations that Make Ten:
The child can use the beads to familiarize themselves with all the possible number combinations that make up ten, helping them see the concept of number bonds and build mental math strategies.
4. Reinforces the Concept of Making Tens:
By using the golden bead bars (which represent tens), children begin to understand that in
addition, we often make groups of tens. This concept is key to their understanding of place value and mental arithmetic.
5. Addition and Multiplication as Related Concepts:
The material emphasizes that addition and multiplication are related. This helps children see the foundational connection between the two operations as both involve combining quantities.
6. Introduction to Multiplication:
The material serves as an introduction to the unit combinations of multiplication, giving children a visual and hands-on way to understand the building blocks of multiplication.7. Developing Initial Quantity Concepts:
Through the manipulation of the bead bars, children develop their initial concept of quantity, learning to add, subtract, multiply, and even divide using the beads as concrete tools.
8. Logical Reasoning and Problem-Solving:
The game encourages logical reasoning and scientific analysis as children draw conclusions and solve problems using beads and number combinations.
