Subtraction Strip Board inc strip Tray

1. Concrete Experience with Subtraction:
o The Subtraction Strip Board provides a concrete method for children to visualize and physically manipulate numbers during subtraction. By placing the blue and red strips on the grid, children can see how one number is subtracted from another.

2. Interactive and Visual Learning:
o Using the grid and coloured strips, children can see how the number being subtracted (the subtrahend) fits into the minuend and how the remaining number is visually represented. This makes abstract mathematical concepts more tangible and understandable.

3. Understanding Subtraction Equations:
o Children practice solving subtraction problems such as 13 - 8 = ? by placing the corresponding grey strips (representing the minuend) and blue strips (representing the subtrahend) on the grid. The remaining squares help the child count the difference, reinforcing their understanding of the subtraction process.

4. Reinforcement of the Subtraction Table:
o By repeatedly using the strips to solve subtraction problems, children becomefamiliar with the subtraction tables from 1 to 18. This practice improves their ability to recall subtraction facts and helps them memorize the subtraction tables more effectively.

5. Sensory Learning:
o The child engages all five senses by interacting with the wooden strips, counting the grid squares, and physically manipulating the materials, making the subtraction process more memorable and enjoyable.
6. Preparation for Future Math Learning:
o This material prepares children for primary school mathematics by establishing a solid foundation in subtraction. It also helps develop their ability to solve problems independently and visualize mathematical concepts.

7. Fun and Engaging:
o By turning subtraction into a hands-on activity, the Subtraction Strip Board makes learning math enjoyable and encourages children to approach mathematics with curiosity and enthusiasm.

• Wooden Tray (1): Made from beech wood, a material known for its beautiful grain, smooth texture, and durability. The red and blue strips are painted with non-toxic colours to follow the Montessori colour code, providing clear and distinct visual differentiation for children.
• Wooden Tray (2): Also made of beech wood, this tray contains 18 grey-coloured wooden strips, each carefully crafted to match the length of the grid squares (from 1 to 18). The strips are numbered for easy identification.
• Subtraction Board: The board is crafted from MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard), which is durable and resistant to wear. It is beautifully painted following the Montessori colour code to help children easily associate the numerals with the correct visual cues.

Crafted by a professional team of artisans with over 8 years of experience in producing high-quality, premium educational toys. Each piece is designed with precision to ensure durability and ease of use.

• The wooden strips and boards are carefully smoothed and finished to make them safe for children to handle while ensuring that the material lasts for years.

• Spares Available: Replacement parts are available at nominal charges to ensure that your Subtraction Strip Board can continue to be used for many years.
• Customer Support: The company offers 100% customer satisfaction, providing assistance with any questions or concerns you may have about the material.

• Cleaning: Wipe the wooden tray and strips with a soft cloth to remove dust and dirt. Avoid soaking the material in water or using harsh cleaning products, as this can damage the wood.
• Storage: Keep the strips and board organized in the tray when not in use to prevent loss or damage.

• Small Parts: Contains small parts (e.g., strips), so adult supervision is required during use.

Keep away from children under 15 months due to choking hazards.

Recommended for children aged 4-7 years, suitable for use in Montessori classrooms, preschools, and home learning environments.
