Description :-
The Subtraction Snake Game Set is a Montessori-inspired material designed to introduce and reinforce subtraction through hands-on learning. The set consists of multiple components housed in beautifully crafted wooden boxes. These components allow children to practice subtraction, explore
number relationships, and develop a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts.
The set includes:
- Box 1: 5 sets of coloured bead bars (1–9)
These bars represent individual numbers from 1 to 9. Each set allows children to count, subtract, and visualize quantities.
- Box 2: 20 golden bead bars
Representing tens, these golden beads are essential for helping children understand place value and concepts of subtraction involving larger quantities.
- Box 3: A set of black and white bead bars (1–9)
These bars, with their contrasting colours, help to reinforce the concept of subtraction by allowing children to easily differentiate between quantities.
- Box 4: 5 sets of transparent bead bars (1–9), with a divider after 5 on all bars These transparent beads add a layer of visual and tactile exploration, making subtraction
even more engaging. The divider helps children focus on quantities greater or smaller than 5.
- Box 5: 25 silver bars of tens, similar to the golden bead bars
These silver bars are used for subtraction with tens, helping children perform more complex subtractions involving tens.
- Box 6: A set of pink and white bead bars (1–9), similar to the black and white bars These pink and white bars add variety to the learning experience and allow children to explore subtraction with a fresh colour scheme.
Subtraction Snake Game Set
1. Enhances Interest in Subtraction:
This set introduces subtraction in a fun and hands-on way, using colourful beads and bars to make the concept more engaging.
2. A Fun Way to Memorize Subtraction Facts:
The game format encourages children to practice and memorize subtraction facts while interacting with the beads, reinforcing their understanding of subtraction in a playful manner.
3. Understanding Number Combinations:
By using the beads, children learn to recognize and explore number combinations that make up ten, which is a fundamental concept in subtraction.4. Reinforces Subtraction and Division as Related Concepts:
The material emphasizes that subtraction and division are related operations, reinforcing the child’s understanding of both concepts as they solve problems using the same approach.
5. Builds Quantity Concepts:
The set helps children build their initial quantity concepts through the practical use of beads. They can explore addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, all while developing an understanding of how numbers work together.
6. Teaches Negative Functions:
The subtraction game introduces children to the concept of negative numbers and helps them understand subtraction as the process of removing quantities, which can eventually extend to more advanced mathematical concepts like negative numbers.
7. Develops Logical Reasoning and Problem-Solving:
By working with the beads and bars, children develop logical reasoning and problem-solving skills as they reason through subtraction problems, drawing conclusions and finding solutions.
