Montessori Counting Beads

A Montessori counting material: colored acrylic beads stored in a beechwood box. Children use the beads to learn to count and to work through early addition and subtraction, tying a number to a quantity they can move with their own hands. Built for daily use at home or in the classroom.

Math materials like the counting beads really helped me, as a former Montessori kid, tangibly understand the process of addition, subtraction, and place value. These snake beads are a no-brainer for the Montessori home.
