Description :-
The Seguin Teen Board with Bead Material is a Montessori educational tool designed to help children learn to form and recognize numbers between 11 and 19. This set consists of:
- 9 Golden Bead Bars (representing tens),
- One bead bar each for the numbers 1 to 9 (representing the units).
These beads, along with the Seguin Teen Board, allow children to explore the structure of teen numbers (11–19), supporting the understanding of place value and number formation.
Bead Material for Seguin’s Teen Board
The Seguin Teen Board is used to:
1. Introduce the teen numbers (11–19): It helps children understand the structure of the numbers 11 to 19, emphasizing the connection between the tens and units.
2. Teach Counting and Number Formation: By using the bead bars, children can physically build the numbers 11 to 19 and become familiar with the numerical sequence.
3. Enhance Early Math Skills: The activity encourages children to count, recognize number patterns, and strengthen their numerical skills. It's particularly useful in Montessori
environments for introducing the concepts of place value and quantity.
4. Promote Hands-On Learning: Children engage with the material through hands-on manipulation, making the learning process both enjoyable and effective.1. Early Math Skills Development:
o The Seguin Teen Board is a wonderful introduction to counting, number recognition, and the concept of place value for children aged 4–6 years.
o By handling the bead bars, children physically connect numbers with their corresponding quantities, reinforcing their understanding of how 11-19 are formed (10 + 1, 10 + 2, etc.).
2. Improves Numerical Skills:
o Using the board and beads, children learn to count from 11 to 19 and recognize numbers visually. The random insertion of beads promotes number recognition and helps children form the numbers independently.3. Understanding Place Value:
o The golden tens beads and the unit bead bars allow children to see how the numbers 11–19 are structured: one group of ten (the golden bead bar) plus a unit (from 1 to 9).4. Engagement and Fun:
o The hands-on nature of the material makes learning enjoyable. Children can use the board to insert numbers and arrange the beads, encouraging interaction with the material and creating a playful atmosphere while learning.5. Strengthening Fine Motor Skills:
o Manipulating the beads helps to improve fine motor skills, as children handle small objects, arrange them in order, and develop their ability to focus and concentrate.6. Foundation for Higher Math:
o The Seguin Teen Board lays the foundation for later learning in addition and subtraction, as children gain a deeper understanding of how numbers work together (e.g., 10 + 5 = 15, etc.).- Beads: The beads are handcrafted and strung onto brass wire following the Montessori color code, making them both durable and aesthetically pleasing.
- Golden Bead Bars (Tens): Represent the number 10, and there are 9 of them.
- Unit Bead Bars: Represent the numbers from 1 to 9, with one bead bar for each unit number.
- Seguin Teen Board: The board itself is made from beech wood, a durable material with a fine grain and smooth texture. It is finger-jointed for enhanced strength and longevity.
The product is handcrafted by a professional team of skilled artisans who have over 8 years of experience creating premium Montessori educational toys. The attention to detail in both the beads and the Seguin Teen Board ensures a high-quality, durable product that will
last for years.- Spare Parts: If any parts become damaged or lost, spare parts are available at nominal charges, ensuring that the learning experience can continue uninterrupted.
- Customer Support: The company stands behind its products 100%, providing support and assistance for any concerns or inquiries. Customer satisfaction is a top priority, and the team is ready to help with any issues that may arise.
- Since the material is made of wood and brass, it should be kept dry and cleaned with a soft cloth.
- Avoid soaking the beads or board in water as this may damage the wood and beads over time.
4+ years: Ideal for preschoolers and early learners, especially those in Montessori environments.
The Seguin Teen Board with Bead Material is an essential Montessori tool for introducing children to the teen numbers (11-19) and the concept of place value. This hands-on, interactive material helps children develop a concrete understanding of number formation, counting, and basic arithmetic. It also fosters an early love of math while improving numerical skills and fine motor abilities. Perfect for Montessori classrooms or homeschooling, this material is a wonderful foundation for more advanced mathematical concepts.
